Uganda Visa For Nigerian Citizens - Requirements & Fees

Kampala City Tour

When visiting Uganda, it is impossible for you not to visit the capital Kampala, a major commercial and administrative center in the country. In Kampala alone, it will take you a whole day if you intend to visit some of the attractions. In addition, the capital Kampala is located in an extremely convenient location. From Kampala, you can take part in tours located not far from the city. It is recommended to spend at least 2 to 3 days exploring all the attractions in Kampala.

Some must-see tourist attractions in the capital Kampala are Kasubi Tombs, Namugongo Martyrs Shrine, Kabaka’s Lakes, a burial site for Buganda Kingdom, and many more. In contrast to the wild nature, the capital Kampala is bustling with commercial buildings, vehicles, and busy life. 

Local Uganda tour guides provide guests with a selection of Kampala excursions, featuring ready-made Kampala tour packages. Essentially, Kampala is known as a city on the hills, a nickname inferred from its initial placement on seven hills that provided valuable points of direction and distinction; some of these hills are directly associated with colonial history.
