Begin your tour of the city of Kampala with a stop at the nearby Uganda Golf Club, where you can play a round before you move on with your AfricanMecca guide to the unique attractions in the city’s five districts: Central Division, Kawempe, Nakawa, Lubaga, and Makindye. The city has a variety of religious, cultural, historical, and contemporary elements that are worth exploring. And of course, no visit to Kampala would be complete without trying out some of the many water activities available at the nearby Lake Victoria.

Kampala’s rich history is derived in part from the Buganda kings, who once ruled Uganda from their defence base in Kampala and were the first to welcome foreign explorers and colonists who arrived in the country. Travel to see a famous UNESCO World Heritage site, the Kasubi Tombs, which date back to 1881.

Remnants from the Christian missionary and foreign exploration period in Uganda can be seen with a trip to the Namirembe and Rubaga Cathedrals and other colonial buildings on Nakasero Hill. Uganda is a religiously sympathetic country, and your visits to the Baha’i Temple, Shree Sanatan Dharma Mandal Hindu Temple, various churches, Kampala Jewish Synagogue, and the Uganda National Mosque will affirm this fact. The art galleries and Craft Village on Buganda Road offer a fascinating peek into Uganda’s modern and traditional talent, while a visit to the Uganda National Museum will take you back to the country's past. Before you travel to one of the country’s many parks and reserves, some families with young children take time to familiarize themselves with Uganda’s diverse wildlife with a visit to the Uganda Wildlife Education Center and the Serenada Eco-Tourism Wilderness, which can be reached via a boat ride from the beach at Ggaba.
