Hey there! I'm a curious wanderer who’s biked through Kampala traffic, hiked East African hills, and gotten lost (on purpose) in European alleys. I’m all about local eats, spontaneous detours, and swapping stories around campfires. Let’s make travel personal.

Tour description

Experience Kampala like a local on this immersive city tour, where every stop tells a story and every corner reveals a new layer of Uganda’s capital.


Start in the vibrant markets of Owino or Nakasero, where the energy of street vendors and colorful stalls gives you a taste of daily life. Then head uphill to the Gaddafi National Mosque or the peaceful Bahá’í Temple...both offering sweeping city views and insight into Kampala’s religious diversity.

Continue to Kasubi Tombs or Kabaka’s Lake to explore the royal heritage of the Buganda Kingdom, learning about traditional kingship, sacred rituals, and Uganda’s cultural roots. Finally, wrap up the journey at the Uganda Museum and nearby craft markets, where history, creativity, and local craftsmanship come together.

Why It’s Unique:

This isn’t just a sightseeing tour... it’s a storytelling experience led by passionate local guides. With a mix of walking and short rides, it balances the hustle of Kampala’s streets with the peace of its hilltop landmarks. Flexible, personal, and deeply cultural, it’s the perfect way to see the real Kampala.
