If you are moving to Kampala, there are quite a number of places to visit. We have the Uganda museum, the Uganda martyrs shrine; the celebrations are always on June 3. Uganda has friendly people but that doesn’t mean everyone is good. You have to hold on tightly to your belonging.

Kampala is the city of friendly and lovely people, it is located in the central part of the country and consists of various tourist centers like game parks, lakes and golf courses. It also has many development projects and organizations at the national and local levels.

My city is Kampala, which is located in Uganda. It is known for being poor, since it’s a third world country in the world, one should expect affordable housing and it’s well vast with tourist attractions, especially wild life. There are different species of animals like lions, leopards which attracts different tourists from all over the world, despite of the high levels of poverty among people.

My city Kampala is one. However, for anyone visiting, I highly recommend one experience you should never miss out on. Our delicacy, the Rolex. Made from wrapping fried eggs in tortilla, along with tomatoes to the recipe, it is extremely delicious. The malls in Kampala are also built and operated uniquely to the local residents and therefore you should be careful choosing and shopping out here. Preferably, move with a local.

My city, Kampala, is a lovely one. Largely known for its delicacy, the Rolex, a food made by frying eggs and wrapping them in a tortilla with an addition of raw tomatoes to the recipe, it is an absolute thing to try out when in my city. Also, do not forget to tour the lovely malls widely made for the locals and therefore a lot is unique out there.

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.

Kampala is a beautiful place with hospitable people with a cool fancy nightlife to natives but movements in the wee hours might not be very safe to foreigners. The security establishment is working hard to overturn this. It is believed that foreigners carry a lot of money on them during their tours to Africa. The service providers too hike prices to unsuspecting foreigners.

Kampala, capital and largest city of Uganda. It occupies a series of hills at an elevation of about 3900 feet and is in the south of the country, just north of Lake Victoria. In the country’s most prosperous agricultural section, Kampala exports coffee, cotton, tea, tobacco, an sugar. Kampala also has the Uganda museum.
