We always experience a lot of traffic and there city is noisy. But there is still a lot to learn from the people and the high class services are always expensive. There is diversity of languages so someone needs to understand some of the local languages like Luganda, and some other local languages in Uganda.

The most commonly spoken language by the people of the city is Luganda. One therefore needs to learn some basic Luganda phrases to help them get around easily. The people of the city are friendly to foreigners. one does not need to worry much about being made to feel out of place during their stay in Kampala.
