About Kampala
Kampala sprawls across seven (now many more) hills above Lake Victoria, East Africa's most exuberant capital. The UNESCO-listed Kasubi Tombs crown one hill as the burial place of the Buganda kings; the Gaddafi National Mosque's minaret and the Baháʼí temple crown others. Craft markets, the Uganda Museum, boda-boda city tours and a legendary music scene fill a lively day before the safari circuit begins.
