Tourism in Kampala

Although Uganda is an inland tropical country across the equator in eastern Africa, Kampala is like a mountain garden because of its high terrain and cool climate. Modern buildings with novel designs and different styles stand on the mountain, hidden in a piece of green. Standing on the top of Clolott, the highest mountain in the city, you can have a panoramic view of the city's natural landscape. The magnificent parliament building, international conference center and government office buildings are neatly scattered on Nakasero Mountain, and the Uganda National Museum, Independence Square and Independence Monument at the foot of the nearby mountain are vividly visible. Lake Victoria in the southeast suburb is wide, sparkling like a mirror, with little sails. There are dense forests on the hillside by the lake, where African villas are located, and the environment is elegant; There are lawns and golf courses at the foot of the mountain, which is an ideal place for walking and fitness. Kampala has become a tourist attraction in Africa because of its long history, gorgeous scenery and numerous places of interest.

There are many historical sites in Kampala. On the mountain, magnificent ancient palaces, temples, churches, tombs, etc. are still preserved. St Paul's Cathedral, built in 19 13, is a Protestant church. It is a red dome building, located at the top of Namirembe, which is very spectacular. Lubaga Church, built in 1925, is a place of prayer for Roman Catholics. The whole building is white, located at the top of the basic mountain, towering and elegant. In addition, there are Kasubi Mausoleum on Kasubi Mountain, McClery College on McClery Mountain, En Sambia Church and some Indian temples. The appearance of these ancient historical cultures has witnessed Kampala's long history, and has also kept Kampala's antique style full of modern colors.
