The mosque is very impressive and we had a wonderful tour. The entrance fee was reasonable and they can provide head scarves etc if needed. You have plenty of time on the tour to ask questions and take photos and it provided a good overview of the city of Kampala. The walk to the top of the minaret was well worth it for the view but be prepared for a lot of stairs! Tour took approx 1 hour

This Cathedral is located on Lubaga Hill and maybe that’s reason it gets a lot of attention from far away. The façade has a small resemblance of Notre-Dame in Paris, albeit the entrance of Rubaga Cathedral has only one. The Cathedral has also a painting of the Ugandan Martyrs. In times of Covid, the Cathedral is doing a great job keeping the social distance.

cemetery near the Church of Mother of God in Murro Masindi was tidied up a few years ago by the local parish priest, Fr. Joseph Ndiraba Abooki, as it was very overgrown etc. Fifty of our nearest and dearest are buried here. Our church "Matki Boskiej Czestochowskiej", nearing its completion stands to this day. The local people, not being able to say the Polish name, call it the Church of Mother of God.

In 1939, 2000 Polish women, elderly and children arrived in western Uganda. The Polish Catholic Church at Nyabyeya was built almost entirely by these women who had left their husbands and other male relatives in Europe, fighting in World War Two. The church is well-maintained (thanks to active links with Poland) and very popular on Sundays. It has the original wooden pews, stained glass windows, towering wooden sculpture of Jesus (most likely made of local Mahoghany), paintings of the 'Stations of the Cross,' altar ornaments, and interesting Catholic artefacts. The church has inscriptions in Polish, English, Latin and Munyoro, local language. Traditional Ugandan musical instruments also feature (drums and the adungu). Next to the church is the cemetery, where graves of 43 Polish remain. It's not easy to find this church (we saw no signposts) but it's definitely worth a visit if you're interested in history. It's approx one hour's drive from Masindi and just five minutes from the Royal Mile, Budongo Forest. My visit was organised by Sallie and Robert from New Court View Hotel in Masindi, where I stayed for five nights.

Well built, with well constructed grottos to serve as interpretations of the fateful events that happened when the Christian converts were killed for their new religion (then). Very peaceful and serene.
