This city tour that includes Kabaka’s palace gives an opportunity to visitors to also access a section with the torture chambers where people suspected of being political threats were tortured during Amin’s regime.

Kabaka’s lake is located in close proximity to the palace and is something you will not miss paying a visit.

Bahai’ Temple

The greenery environment, location on a hill overseeing Kampala City, and the tranquility can't be imagined in the middle of the city.

Rubaga catholic cathedral and Namirembe Cathedral
