A memorable adventure. - I and a group of friends, we recently set on a cultural tour in Kampala, Uganda, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary.We witnessed the cultural dances that are deeply rooted in Ugandan heritage. The energy and passion of the dancers were truly mesmerizing, and we found ourselves captivated by the vibrant costumes and the infectious energy of the performance. We also had an opportunity to sample the local beverage, Bushera. This traditional drink, made from fermented millet , was a revelation to our palates. The unique flavor, slightly tart and refreshing .We were also fascinated by the traditional serving method. This trip offers a window into the heart and soul of this remarkable country.I recommend this tour.

An immersive Buganda Cultural tour - I recently had a pleasure of having fascinating Buganda Cultural tour with my friends,where we delved into rich history and traditions of the Buganda kingdom. Our first stop was at Buganda parliament,where we were surprised by architecture and symbolic significance of the building. We also explored the Idd Amin chambers,which provided us with glimpse into Uganda's more recent history.we also experienced Buganda 's delectable foods like preparing matoke and luwombo, which offered a delightful blend of flavors and unique species. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in knowing about culture of Buganda kingdom
