Perfect experience - The weather is cool. The mosque is in the city center. The ticket costs 25,000 shillings. There will be a guide to explain. In addition to the mosque, the top of the tower next to it is also not to be missed. Although it is a bit scary and tiring to climb, the view from the top of the tower is really great! Looking around, you can see the whole scenery of Kampala. If you have enough time, I recommend a city walk!

Great guide to visit Kampala - Yusuf was our guide at the Gaddafi Mosque, we visited the interior and then walked up the minaret, from which we had a great view all over Kampala. Yusuf was knowledgeable and super patient with all our questions. I warmly recommend going on a tour with him! :)
