After a 15hrs road trip from the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, we made it back to Kampala, the Capital of Uganda. We have a full day to explore this city before leaving the Pearl of Africa but you know us, we'll make the most of it!
The day started at the Gaddafi Mosque, the largest and most beautiful one in East Africa. From the architecture to the stunning views of Kampala from the top of the minaret, it is truly worth your time.
From there, we drove to the Nakasero Market which is definitely the place to experience the hustle and bustle and the true energy of the streets of Kampala. This authentic African market specializes in fruits and vegetable and is one of the largest market in Kampala.
Uganda is a very multi-cultural country so it was only fitting to go visit the Basilica of the Uganda Martyrs after touring a mosque in the morning. This Basilica has a very unique design in addition to several sculptures commemorating the martyrs.
And because we were not going to be leaving Uganda without trying some authentic dish, we headed to Salvin, a nice local restaurant where they serve everything from smoked fish, beef, ugali, matoke and more. It was a delicious meal and also very different to all the street food we have tried during our trip around Uganda.
Finally, we drove back to Entebbe where we stopped for a quick drink by Lake Victoria before driving back to the Airport and saying a final goodbye to our guide which was truly amazing!
Uganda, we will be back...

You can have more adventures here plus it's peaceful and beautiful because of Mabira forest and River Nile not to mention the bridge and water rafting plus other incredible sites Ninja is a beautiful tourist attraction. Thank you.

I'm a Kenyan but out of the eight countries I have been to, none matches Ugandan food. Explains why they are amongst the most fertile in the world 😅. I stayed there for one month and everyone in Kenya was talking about how healthy I looked. I nolonger visit for tourism, I just need my katogo in the morning, luwombo for lunch, rolex in the evening and matoke with gnut sauce to complete my day then M7 can stay in power if he wants. As long as we are eating well in Uganda, I don't care who is the President 😂.

History The construction of the mosque began in 1972 by Idi Amin and was initially called the Old Kampala National Mosque. Construction halted in 1976 during a period of heighten political instability, and in 1979,after Amin was deposed, it seemed like the mosque's fate had been sealed but in 2001, Gaddafi expressed a willingness to help complete it as a gift to Islamic faith in Uganda.

This makes a lot of sense. Sorry for the mistake and thanks for the extra info. :)

I love my Country and would never leave to live anywhere else but I hate the chaos in Kampala. As a kid in the 90's I enjoyed Kampala alot, i would make lone tours just to find out the geographical locations of some of the most important offices in the city like Parliament, Bank of Uganda, etc. but that was long before boda bodas flooded our small city making it hard to cross roads, vendors spread out on our walkways and you can't walk peacefully, every small space has been turned into a shop. I now hate going to the city, i only go there if I have to. I cant send a 15 year old to town alone Guys Uganda needs to build a new beautiful, spacious city.
