How do you spend a day in Kampala?
One day in Kampala? Challenge accepted! Start with the regal ambience of the Buganda Kingdom Royal Mile Tour. Dip your toes into Uganda’s history at the National Museum. Hungry? Treat yourself to the city’s culinary delights – from street food to upscale eateries. From there, it’s shopping galore at the craft markets.

Is Kampala nice?
Nice? Oh, that’s an understatement! Kampala is a bubbling pot of energy, colors, sounds, and experiences. Think of it as the life of the party that never sleeps. It’s the city where traditional drum beats harmonize with urban rhythms, where modern skyscrapers mingle with historical treasures, and where every street has a story, every market a melody. In short, Kampala doesn’t just do ‘nice’. It does ‘incredible’, ‘vibrant’, and ‘unforgettable’.
Why is Kampala called so?
The tale behind the name is as intriguing as the city itself! “Kampala” is derived from the Luganda phrase “kasozi k’empala” which translates to “hill of antelopes.” You see, once upon a time, the city’s seven hills were teeming with these graceful creatures. While the antelopes may have moved on, the city embraced the name and, over time, it morphed into ‘Kampala’. So, while you might not spot an antelope during your city tour, you’re literally walking in their historic footsteps!
