A city rises where hilltop whispers outnumber traffic horns and each century hides beneath today’s rush. Kampala is more than a skyline—it’s layers of secrets, rebellion, faith, and the pulse of Uganda itself.
Plug in for a self-guided audio tour winding through the city’s heart. Discover stories behind walls you never noticed. Unlock drama and marvels that hide in plain sight.
What forced worshippers to risk everything at Watoto Church during crackdowns? Whose hands wrote censored truths in the hushed aisles of the National Library? Which desperate midnight confession echoes from All Saints’ Cathedral—and who was listening?
