Kampala<\/h3>\n<p>Though most people travel to Uganda for the wildlife and scenery, most Uganda safari trips will start or end in Kampala, and no guide to places to visit would be complete without mentioning it.<\/p>\n<p>Kampala has a reputation for being noisy and crowded, but it is also the beating heart of Uganda: full of vibrancy, hustle and bustle.<\/p>\n<p>Originally built on 7 hills, and now sprawling out over 20, Kampala can be confusing to navigate, but the centre is compact and well-organised, with plenty to see and do.<\/p>\n<p>You can learn about Uganda\u2019s history and the brutal regime of Idi Amin at Mengo Palace (Kabaka Palace) \u2013 where you can see Amin\u2019s chilling former torture chambers \u2013 or check out the last burial place of the former Kings of Buganda Kingdom at the Kasubi Tombs.<\/p>\n<p>Stroll along Parliament Avenue to take in some of the best colonial architecture, shop for souvenirs or African art in one of the many craft markets and art galleries, or avoid the traffic by hopping on the back of a boda-boda (motorcycle taxi) and whizzing across the city (not for the faint-hearted, but an excellent and cheap way to get around).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a title=\"15 Exciting Things to do in Kampala In 2024\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tulambule.com\/things-to-do-in-kampala\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Most Exciting Things To Do In Kampala.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>17. Lake Victoria and Ssese Islands<\/h3>\n<p>Uganda is landlocked, but what it lacks in sea views it makes up for with the mighty <a title=\"Lake Victoria\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tulambule.com\/lake-victoria\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Lake Victoria<\/strong><\/a>. This massive water body sits on the south side of the country, across the borders with <a title=\"Best Tanzania safaris And Tours\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tulambule.com\/tanzania-safaris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Tanzania<\/strong><\/a> and Kenya.<\/p>\n<p>And with a surface area of just under 70,000 square kilometers, Lake Victoria, it is Africa\u2019s largest lake by area, the world\u2019s largest tropical lake, and the world\u2019s second-largest freshwater lake by surface area after Lake Superior in North America.<\/p>\n<p>The best departure point to see Lake Victoria is Entebbe. Enjoy a sunset cruise to enjoy the calm waters, or take a trip out to <a title=\"Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tulambule.com\/ngamba-island-chimpanzee-sanctuary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Ngamba Island Sanctuary<\/strong><\/a> to see orphaned chimps.<\/p>\n<p>The top highlight is the <a title=\"Ssese Islands Kalangala | Lake Victoria Holiday\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tulambule.com\/ssese-islands-kalangala\/\"><strong>Ssese Islands<\/strong><\/a>, an archipelago of 84 islands featuring soft white sands, and thick forests \u2013 which make for a fantastic off-the-beaten-track tropical island experience.<\/p>\n<p>The main island, Buggala Island is easily accessible by ferry from Entebbe, and is a popular weekend destination for Kampala residents, with many beachfront hotels and bars.<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tulambule.com\/tour\/3-day-kalangala-ssese-islands-tour\/\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tulambule.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/where-to-stay-in-Ssese-5.webp\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tulambule.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/where-to-stay-in-Ssese-5.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.tulambule.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/where-to-stay-in-Ssese-5-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.tulambule.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/where-to-stay-in-Ssese-5-768x576.webp 768w\" alt=\"where to stay in Ssese\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/> <\/a><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Day_Kalangala_Ssese_Islands_Tour\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tulambule.com\/tour\/3-day-kalangala-ssese-islands-tour\/\">3 Day Kalangala Ssese Islands Tour<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tulambule.com\/tour\/kampala-city-tour\/\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tulambule.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/1-Day-Kampala-City-Tour-1.webp\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tulambule.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/1-Day-Kampala-City-Tour-1.webp 1280w, https:\/\/www.tulambule.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/1-Day-Kampala-City-Tour-1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.tulambule.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/1-Day-Kampala-City-Tour-1-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.tulambule.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/1-Day-Kampala-City-Tour-1-768x512.webp 768w\" alt=\"1 Day Kampala City Tour\" width=\"1280\" height=\"854\" \/> <\/a><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Amazing_1_Day_Kampala_City_Tour_Exploring_Ugandas_Capital\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tulambule.com\/tour\/kampala-city-tour\/\">Amazing 1 Day Kampala City Tour, Exploring Uganda&#8217;s Capital<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tulambule.com\/tour\/3-day-luxury-wildwaters-lodge-experience-in-jinja\/\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tulambule.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Uganda-Honeymoon.webp\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tulambule.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Uganda-Honeymoon.webp 2000w, https:\/\/www.tulambule.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Uganda-Honeymoon-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.tulambule.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Uganda-Honeymoon-1024x682.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.tulambule.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Uganda-Honeymoon-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.tulambule.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Uganda-Honeymoon-1536x1024.webp 1536w\" alt=\"Uganda Honeymoon\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" \/> <\/a><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Day_Luxury_Wildwaters_Lodge_Experience_in_Jinja\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tulambule.com\/tour\/3-day-luxury-wildwaters-lodge-experience-in-jinja\/\">3-Day Luxury Wildwaters Lodge Experience in Jinja<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><!-- .category-{$layout} --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tourist Attractions in Uganda are massive.
