Seeing & Visiting the best of Kampala

Kabiza Wilderness Safaris

Minimum of two or more participants


We pick you up at your lodging or hotel after your breakfast and you are off for a most interesting and eye-opening day in Kampala-from our traffic - the way we drive to the sites you will see and visit. Kampala is never standing still, 24 hours a day - some call it "The African City that never sleep."Kampala City Tour

  • Kasubi Tombs:  Unfortunately this UN heritage site burnt down in 2010 and is in the process ofbeing restored- it was the largest thatched grass building in the world and the tomb to several of the Buganda Kingdom Kabaka's - Kings.  We will put it back on our schedule of places to visit in Kampala once it has been restored to its former glory.

  • Makerere University:  One of the most prestigious Universities in Africa with a rich history including professors who have taught here like the Author Paul Theroux and Nugugu Wa Thiongo.  Students not only come here from Uganda but from other African country due to the quality of education.

  • Namirembe Cathedral:  Originally built in 1903 by Baganda Craftsmen, this large Grass thatched cathedral soon burnt down, struck down by lightning and it was replaces by the present edifice.  The Church is part of the Church of Uganda, which is Anglican, however in Uganda most Anglican Churches are very evangelical unlike in the West.

  • Rubaga Catholic Chathedral:  The oldest Catholic Cathedral in Uganda - like Namirembe Cathedral it overlooks the city and is a large complex that takes in various functions of the church.

  • Kabaka's Lake:  The largest man-built lake in Africa - Kabaka Mwanga had it built and it was supposed to extend all the way to Lake Victoria as a means of escape for Kabaka Mwanga.

  • Baha'i Temple:  This is the only Baha'i Temple in Africa, situated on a beautiful park like grounds, though there are not many adherents here in Uganda, the park like settings have become a refuge for many who simply want to sit on the grass and take in the peaceful setting.

  • Owino Market - the largest 2nd hand clothing market in Africa - Nakasero Food and Vegetable Market and Taxi Park which is an amazing site in itself and the hub of Kampala Transport with hundreds of mini-vans jostling in and out.

  • Namugongo Martyr's Shrine:  Each June 3rd the Catholic Church honors 22 Catholic young men and the others of Anglican persuasion who refused the advances of Kabaka Mwanga and died for their faith and their moral stance.  A moving place.

Lunch in middle of the tour - included in price along with 2 sodas or one Beer.
