Unique experience - My walking tour of Kampala was a delight, showcasing the city's vibrant mix of history, art, and cuisine.
We visited monuments, climbed the Gaddafi mosque for stunning views, and explored bustling markets filled with colorful crafts. Art galleries offered a glimpse into Uganda's creative scene, and the bus station provided a fascinating snapshot of daily life.
Also as part of the tour we visited a local restaurant which served delicious traditional dishes. We also tried the must-try Ugandan street food, Rolex.
This tour is a fantastic way to experience Kampala's unique charm and immerse yourself in its rich culture.
