Educational, insightful, thrilling experience. Worth seeing!

It was my third time coming to Kampala, but has never had the time to go sightseeing. It was an educational, insightful, thrilling experience getting to know the history of Kampala and Uganda. Beautiful photo opportunities, excellent guide Ben, as well as guides at the sites (the mosque and King's palace, and the tombs). Worth seeing! Make time for this, it last half day. Bring cap, scarf, sun lotion and water with you.
