Uganda’s capital city, Kampala, is situated on the most pristine banks of Lake Victoria in the country’s central area. The city is known as East Africa’s Charming Capital because it offers a wide variety of tourism sites, attractions, and activities, from concerts to high-profile venues and hotels.
The Impala (Aepyceros melampus), a medium-sized African antelope that once roamed the jungles where Kampala is now located, gave the city its name. Before you travel to the rest of the country, Kampala, which is only 40 km from Entebbe International Airport, will astound you with its beauty, culture, and warmth.
In addition to the National Museum, the well-known Kasubi tombs, Kabaka’s Lake, Bulange Mengo, Kabaka’s palace (Lubiri, Mengo), the Uganda National Cultural Center, various religious centres like the Bahai Temple, Kibuli & Gadaffi Mosques, Namirembe Cathedral, Rubaga Catholics Cathedral, Namugongo Martyrs’ Shrine, as well as numerous shopping centres and nightclubs, the city boasts a number of attractions
If you were to take a leisurely stroll through Kampala on any given daytime, you might assume that there isn’t much going on at nightfall. You might think that because everyone is so laid-back, they all go to bed early, with a cup of hot chocolate and some prime-time TV. The truth, however, is drastically different.
The nightlife in Kampala is actually vibrant every night of the week. There are countless bars and nightclubs with something for everyone, and a young, lively, and welcoming crowd keeps things moving till morning. In fact, Kampala has gained a reputation as the party capital of East Africa thanks to its vibrant nightlife.
