Founded in 1908, this is the oldest museum in East Africa. Its collections include ethnological, natural-historical, and traditional exhibits, among their ranks everything from hunting equipment to musical instruments. At the back of the building, you’ll find the Cultural Village, offering fascinating insights into the Ugandan people’s ways of life. There’s a children’s resource centre too.
Many of the hills around Kampala are topped by religious buildings, not least Namirembe Cathedral, Ba’hai Temple, and Gadaffi Mosque. As well as admiring the impressive structures themselves, you can marvel at beautiful views over the city.
Located in the city centre, UNCC is made up of the country’s national theatre and the Nommo Gallery. The theatre is also put to use as a cinema, while the gallery features works by Ugandan and foreign artists. There’s also a nice snack bar and the Craft Village, where you can purchase locally made arts-and-crafts items.
Why not head to Buganda Road to take a look around the most sprawling market in Kampala? You could check out the markets of Nakasero and Saint Balikuddembe too.
The city is home to several shopping centres, such as the mall at Garden City. This is also the location of the famous Casino Simba, which features a hundred gaming machines.
Whether you need to take a snack break between sightseeing tours, or you’re looking for somewhere for a special dinner, Kampala can provide! And the friendly staff at Latitude 0º are happy to advise you on eating out during your time here.
