Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

These young women are friendly and eager to get you to look at their products. The products sell themselves, are of good quality and very reasonably priced. The service we had was excellent, nothing was too much trouble in trying to find the right t shirts with the right designs.
They are appreciative of the custom and since many are trying to save for school fees either for themselves or for younger siblings we were happy to buy to help knowing that this is a life line for them. We bought lots of different souvenirs which are handmade, beautiful, unique and excellent souvenirs for our families. Please do support these young women.

I stumbled across the village and was delighted by the warm welcome and amazing selection of gifts. The best purchase was the local coffee bean from a small farmer, which I have enjoyed since my return home. Well worth an hour and is on the main road route to the airport so easy to stop off and visit when heading to airport for any last moment take home gifts.

Very many self drivers get stuck in Kampala traffic jam or miss important activities in Kibale and Entebbe and parhaps flight time.
From KIBALE NATIONAL PARK just take a RH diversion on BUJUUKO town it will take you 12min to reach Mpigi road cross it and drive further 30min to reach Entebbe Road.
Take note the road is busy with lorries and boda boda cyclist.

Place is located on the main road on Entebbe and contains several shops selling handmade crafts. Most of the shops has the same staf on their collections, like clothes, jewelery, wooden masks and bowls etc. Here you can negotiate about prices. Quality is usually good, but take some time to check products before buying.
Uganda is still much cheaper what comes for crafts for example in Kenia or Tanzania.
There is also new craft market opposite Victoria mall, but there prices seems to be higher and negotiations is difficult

Nice collection. There is another market in front of the Victoria mall but that is much more expensive.Crafts village is the better choice.Did not find a good fridge magnets collection though. Bargaining works.Prices not that low for Asians.

During the last years I have repeatedly visited the village and seen it growing. Lots of small stalls with a variety of items. It seems, however, that almost all the shops have the same owner. So when you start to bargain all of them have to call their boss in order to see whether this is acceptable. One can wonder how much these ladies actually earn. The items are nice and youy can find some items that are not pure touristic, but you have to look well. Items that you can buy at Banana Boat in Kampala, you can buy here for a much lower price.

This craft village was much smaller than perhaps had been indicated. Offering a wide range of wooden, bone, seed and handmade African souvenirs. Sadly we couldn't purchase many of these given international restrictions on taking these home.
The women operating the stalls were very friendly and welcoming

The owners of the shops are very aggressive in trying to get you to enter their shop, however the items available and the fact that items are very reasonably priced makes it worth your time to go.

What type of restrictions are there on taking souvenirs back to your country
Written 14 November 2016
Anything sold in these crafts villages are fine for taking out of Uganda. But do beware if someone wants to see you real ivory! Most of the ivory-type stuff here is made of cow bone.
