1-Day Kampala City tour Uganda
Kampala is Uganda's national and commercial capital bordering Lake Victoria, Africa's largest lake. Hills covered with red-tile villas and trees surround an urban centre of contemporary skyscrapers. In this downtown area, the Uganda Museum explores the country's tribal heritage through an extensive collection of artefacts. On nearby Mengo Hill is Lubiri Palace, the former seat of the Buganda Kingdom.
The traffic are notorious, and for people that travel within the city limits, the favorite choice of transport is the Boda Boda….a 100 cc motor bike taxi; there are tens of thousands of them moving like mice on all the city roads.
Kampala has both Religious and Culturally Historic sites; mosques, cathedrals, Bugandan Kingdom tombs and palaces; the city is rich with much to see. Local markets selling produce and every sort of manufactured product are also to be found in all neighborhoods; the biggest being Nakasero market (for fruits and vegetables) and Owino Market (for everything under the sun).
Thousands of small and big Ugandan restaurants and street vendors, offer local dishes from
many of the 45 tribes that live in Uganda. Bars and night clubs are abundantly scattered across the city, many with live music performances.
English is spoken widely in Kampala. It is the official language of Uganda. For tourists, it is easy to find foreign exchange bureaus, banks and ATM machines, as well as supermarkets.
