The presence of buildings of historical and religious significance make Kampala a magnet for all types of tourists. The city is located one hour drive from the source of River Nile, the longest river in the world.

Someone moving to Kampala should prepare themselves to learn a little Luganda, especially the greeting. These can be about 5 to 10 words. Kampala city is a great place for tourists because the people are generally warm and receptive. There are lots of activities to do, such as site seeing for example, restaurants, museums and local historical sites.

He/she should know that Kampala is the capital city of Uganda. Kampala city is a city for hardworking people struggling to earn money for their daily expenses and their families besides that Kampala is overpopulated with over 20 million people. Kampala has a fair sanitation with little plantation cover that provides a good aerial view for the city.

Kampala is the capital of Uganda. It is on seven hills which can be viewed on a tower at Gaddafi mosque hence that’s the first place one should consider visiting. Ones should also consider seeing the uganda museum, Makerere University, the Kasubi Tombs, Rubaga cathedral Church, and Namirembe cathedral church. One should also consider having a nightlife in Kampala, a city which doesn’t sleep.

Kampala is full of vibrant people with a lot of activity going on. There are various monuments for site seeing and different foods from different cultures. Our educational system is a commendable one as in can study either at the national level or Cambridge level. Last but not least our accommodation and housing facilities are very affordable.

Before moving to Kampala, be aware of Boda bodas. These are motorcycles that complement public transport. However, their operators ride recklessly on the roads. Additionally, here Rolex is food. It is a special snack of rolled eggs and Chapati you can grab anywhere around the city suburbs. People here are friendly and there are various attractions you should not miss checking out including the Martyrs’ Shrine at Namugongo and Kasubi Tombs.

Kampala is not only the capital of Uganda, but it has a proud history and ideology of the common man. The hard work and determination reflects on the faces of all people found inside. Though the level of poverty and corruption is booming every day, it’s still in the Pearl of Africa.

Revealing clothes like short shorts are a big no on the streets of Kampala. In addition to public satanism. During normal days bars and churches are allowed to open till morning. A great destination for party goers and dedicated Christians. There’s freedom of speech, expression, worship to mention but a few. There are great tourism destinations too such as the heritage sites at Kasubi.
