Welcome to Gulu!
Gulu is an important city in Northern Uganda. It's the economic centre of the region, has some useful facilities for travellers and a handful of historic attractions. As violence related to the LRA rebel groups diminished, more NGO workers and travellers settled in and generally friendly local business owners are finding ways to cater to the increasing demand for hotels and restaurants. All in all, this may not yet be a vibrant city nor the most beautiful of Uganda destinations, but it has a charm of its own and breathes the energy of a community shaking off its past.
Gulu is a city in the Northern Region of Uganda. It is the commercial and administrative center of the Gulu District. The distance from Gulu to Kampala, Uganda's capital and largest city, is approximately 333 kilometers (207 mi) by road. Gulu is served by Gulu Airport.
