Uganda’s 10 highest paid music artists bag nearly a combined UGX600 million (USD162,000) a month in largely performance fees, a study done by CEO EA Magazine shows. This however does not include earnings from other hard to establish platforms such as celebrity endorsements, royalties by radio stations, discotheques and telecom companies who use their music as call back tunes.
Even though there is quite some competition in Kampala’s hotel space- with average occupancy rates standing at about 58% (a hotel needs about 40% occupancy to break even), with key noticeable names like Sheraton, Speke, Marriott, Serena, Hilton and Protea, all jostling for guests, Latitude 00 has also decided it has what it takes to compete with the big boys. And yes, they have put up quite a marvel of a property. Our lifestyle reporter, Pearl Kitimbo, gave them a visit and brings you quite some fascinating reviews!
Luwombo is a traditional delicacy that originates from the Baganda in central Uganda. It is a meal prepared in banana leaves and gets ready by the steam from water. The dish comes from as far as 1887 during the reign of Kabaka Mwanga. However, since then, the dish has been adopted by many traditions in Uganda and it is majorly served to important guests on functions. Here is how you can learn to prepare Luwombo on your own.
On their website, this is how Latitude 0° describe themselves: “We are more than just a hotel with 47 guest rooms and suites, a 24-hour front desk, and fast airport transfers. We are two restaurants and three bars with culinary delights and a wide variety of drinks from all corners of the world. We are a haven for relaxation and fitness through our spa, gym and swimming pools. We are a socialising and networking centre with lounges, rooftop bar, private dining and entertaining spaces, and a calendar filled with music, art, fashion and business events. We are a co-working hub with private workspaces, meeting and conference rooms. A unique African lifestyle hospitality, blending modern urban Africa with a cosmopolitan twist.
We can’t agree more.
We hope you agree with us too!
