Kampala City Safari TourWelcome to Kampala City Safari Tour a City on Top of Seven HillsI welcome you to Kampala city safari tour.If you go to Rome or Bethlehem, I think you would like to visit all places around it and know more about it. This is the same that will happen when you visit Uganda. Uganda has it capital city surrounded by hills. Originally Kampala was a city of seven hills but today it has more than 30 hills and it is still growing. But it is simple to travel around and see all safari attraction in and around Kampala because all best Kampala safari attractions are near each other and I hope one can travel all of them in less than 3 days. Most visitors do their best to avoid the hustle and bustle of Kampala, but a day spent on a ‘Kampala Safari’ will reveal a lush, vibrant city full of attractions and experiences not to be missed.
While on this side of Kampala it is also worth visiting the two main Cathedrals in Kampala Namirembe, and Rubaga. These are located close to Mengo and in between the two one can find two giant tortoises located at the blue house opposite Mengo post office. There is also the Buganda parliament building, courts and at the opposite end of Kabakanjagala Road the Kabaka’s palace (Twekobe). If you follow the Ring Road around from here you have an excellent view of modern central Kampala. From here you can head back to town and visit the newly renovated Old Kampala Mosque. For those keen for more culture, next on the agenda is the National Museum of Uganda on Kiira Road. The oldest in East Africa (formally established in 1908) it houses a number of displays relating to many aspects of Ugandan history, a collection of traditional musical instruments from all over the continent and an ethnographic gallery relating to traditional Uganda lifestyles. Chose one of Kampala’s many restaurants for lunch, or stop off at Quality Cuts in Bukoto for delicious meats and cheeses, on the way up to enjoy a picnic in the tranquillity of the Bahai Temple and its surrounding, neatly manicured gardens. Perched high on a hill, it provides fantastic views of the city beyond. The Bahai Temple opened on January 15 1962, is the only place of worship of its kind in Africa, and is open to all. This afternoon, for the adventurous, and for a true ‘African Uganda city safari tour, experience, venture into the organised chaos of Owino Market. Situated near the Clock Tower roundabout, you will be surprised to find virtually anything your heart desires… or quite likely doesn’t desire. Soak up the atmosphere and once you’ve had your fill of the somewhat overwhelming sights, sounds and smells of the market, climb high above the mayhem of the nearby taxi park and watch the world go by whilst sipping an ice cold beer from the balcony of the Park View. For a more serene experience in search of curios and souvenirs, browse the craft market stalls behind the National Theatre and then head up to the Sheraton gardens or the Serena for a drink and some relaxation. Time for a swim to cool off in one of the many pools around town, before escaping the Kampala city safari tour as the sun sets, to head out passed Ntinda for an evening of traditional dancing and music in the green and tranquil surroundings of the Ndere Troupe Centre. Clad in magnificent costumes traditionally designed to decorate and amplify movement, the Ndere Troupe performs dances from every corner of Uganda. Choose from a selection of Ugandan dishes as you watch the performance. Of course, a ‘Kampala City Safari Tour’ would not be complete without a tour of the nightlife… Just Kicking, Bubbles O’Leary’s earlier on, Kyoto, Rouge, Club Silk and Ange Noir later and then off to Al’s Bar on the Ggaba Road… not for the faint-hearted but all part of the Kampala experience!
