Uganda’s cities blend traditional African culture with modern influences. In these vibrant hubs, you’ll find everything from historic landmarks and cultural sites to modern infrastructure, bustling markets, and cutting-edge businesses.
As both Uganda’s capital and its largest city, Kampala is the political, economic, and cultural heartbeat of the nation.
Nestled serenely on a series of rolling hills near the shores of Lake Victoria, Kampala is a dynamic and youthful city that gets its name from the majestic impala, a medium-sized African antelope that used to roam the jungles where the capital stands proudly today.
Located just 40 kilometres from Entebbe International Airport (EBB), Kampala will amaze you with its beauty, culture, and glowing hospitality before you venture to the rest of the country.
This dynamic and diverse city boasts countless attractions including the Uganda Museum, Kasubi Tombs, Kabaka’s Lake, Bulange, Uganda National Cultural Centre, as well as various religious sites, shopping malls, and decadent night clubs.
Known for its lively nightlife, with numerous bars, clubs, and restaurants offering a taste of Uganda’s modern entertainment scene, Kampala is also a hub for business and commerce, with multinational companies, local businesses, and diplomatic missions headquartered here.
