Kampala

The perfect day or weekend in Kampala. For when the tour guides & websites tell you that Kampala "isn't worth it" but you want to discover the city anyways! I have lived in Kampala for the past six years and want to share with you why this city has held such a special place in my heart. Of course I have included the historical sites and local craft shops that are a must but also a ton of fun unique activities to discover the city and culture. As a foodie, in my opinion there is no better way to get to know a city then by planning your day around the coolest brunch, sundowner, dinner and bar spots and if that sounds like you then this list includes all the best places to experience the Kampala vibe properly! This guide also includes reliable contacts to get around by car or by "boda boda" (local motorcycle taxis).
