Activity itinerary

Gaddafi National Mosque
  • 45m
  • Admission ticket not included
This Colourful structure with its magnificent features of Art was built and designed based on a mixture of Cultures of Arab, European, and an African Touch. Built on Old Kampala Hill which is One of Kampala City's Seven Hills. It can also be viewed from all Corners of Kampala and one cannot go without a glimpse of it. The Mosque is Open to all People regardless of their Creeds, Political affiliations, Ethnic backgrounds, Cultures and Nationalities. On entering the Mosque Main hall, you will enjoy its Architectural designs. Climbing the Tower / Minaret gives you the best view of Kampala City at 360 degrees with its original surrounding Seven Hills. The Mosque also stands on the Original Spot where British first hoisted their Flag which signified Uganda as British Colony
Kabaka's Palace
  • 45m
  • Admission ticket not included
At the heart of Buganda’s cultural and political life stands the Lubiri—the Kabaka’s Palace. More than a royal residence, Lubiri is a symbol of unity, tradition, and sovereignty. Its origin is tied not only to Buganda’s political evolution but also to its spiritual and geographical landscape. Therefore you will be welcomed in a traditional or cultural style as royal viator and given a special tour guide to lead you in exploring the palace to see the car remains of king Edward Mutesa I, the cannon gun and the famous torture chambers of Idi Amin Dada. At this point expect to have diversified history of Uganda ranging from political, cultural, economical, social and religious aspects
Kasubi Tombs
  • 45m
  • Admission ticket not included
Perched on Kasubi Hill in Kampala, Uganda, lies one of the most revered and spiritually potent sites in the Kingdom of Buganda—the Kasubi Tombs. To the untrained eye, it may appear as a quiet, thatched enclosure with an impressive round hut at its centre. But to the Baganda people and cultural historians, it is the final resting place of the prominent kings of Buganda. The site serves both as a burial ground for four Kabakas (kings) and a spiritual hub nwhere the past and present converge. It is here that Baganda subjects come to seek blessings, perform rituals, and reflect on their ancestry. Therefore you will be offered a guided tour through these royal tombs and shrine to experience the real cultural feel and practices of Buganda kingdom. You can take pictures and videos at this site as you wish
Independence Monument
  • 20m
As a way of tracing the political and social journey of Uganda, you will be led to the independence monument where our guide will explain to you the interpretation of the monument which is so interesting showcasing the stages that Uganda has gone through (before, during and after the colonial rule period). You are given a chance to take photoes and videos
Nakasero Market
  • 30m
This is a whole sale market with a diversity of products. One could be right to call it “spicy market” due to the fact that it has different spices both local and imported ones. Local food, vegetables and fruits are also in plenty. You will therefore be walked through as you capture pictures and interact with the vendors
Owino Market
  • 20m
Owino market is another organised chaos in Kampala where you will be able to see a variety of second hand goods especially clothes, shoes, and many more sold at a very affordable price which makes it easy for the local people to rush into buying items from here. You will be given a chance to take pictures and videos that will surely set remarkable memories
Old Taxi Park
  • 15m
Just like any other capital city, Kampala is comprised of a huge tax park with thousands of taxis which transport people and their goods in and out of the city. This park is strategically located in the centre of the business buildings which makes it very accessible from all angles
Kisenyi
  • 20m
Kisenyi slum is a low class suburb accommodating a mixed culture of people from different countries especially refugees from Somalia, DRC, South Sudan and Literia. It’s also a zone where heavy work like metal recycling is done from so it will offer a very good experience to you. You can take pictures and videos after asking through your tour guide.
