Uganda · Kampala City

Kampala,Seven Hills And Busy Streets

A lively, green city of markets, music and good coffee, close to the airport and the Nile.

Overview

A City With Rhythm

Kampala is Uganda’s capital, spread over many hills. It has busy markets, royal tombs, museums, art galleries and a great restaurant scene.

Visit the Kasubi Tombs, Uganda Museum, Namugongo Shrine and the Owino Market, then relax over Ugandan coffee or a rolex, the local egg-and-chapati roll.

Entebbe airport is about an hour away, so many guests spend a night or two here at the start or end of their trip.
