10 Historical & Heritage Tours in Kampala That You Shouldn't Miss
Near the banks of Lake Victoria, Kampala, the capital of Uganda, is a lively city with a long history. Before the British, the city was the capital of the Buganda Kingdom, and remains so to this day. The city sits on several hills, each housing an important government or religious building. Kasubi Hill is the home of the Kasubi Tombs, a sacred burial ground of Buganda Kings. The Uganda Museum sits atop Kololo Hill, and features a hands-on collection of traditional musical instruments.

My mother and I did the 10-Day Wildlife Big 5, Murchison Falls, and Gorilla Trekking Safari with Home to Africa. Firstly, if you’re booking a trip to Uganda, you’re not going to regret it. It’s an amazing country, with beautiful people, great food and incredible landscapes. In comparison to other countries more renowned for their wildlife, I can say from experience Uganda outshines them all as you can see all the animals in numbers and from close range. Before arriving in Uganda, all of the organization went smoothly thanks to Hedmond and his team. Emails were answered promptly and always very informative. As soon as we arrived at Entebbe airport, our guide Benon welcomed us with a smile. We didn’t know it at the time but Benon would turn out to be one of the greatest highlights of our trip. I can’t recommend this company more highly and if you get the chance to have Benon by your side you’ll be very lucky. He always went the extra mile to ensure our trip was perfect. His enthusiasm for his country and its animals was addictive. Not only did he drive all over Uganda with us, he provided a valuable insight and treated us as guests in his country, always taking good care of us with a constant smile. He’s such a gentleman, and on parting ways at the airport both my mother and I were extremely sad to say goodbye.
