Turalternativ
Resplan
Turen börjar med uptown Kampala sevärdheter. Utforska viktiga landmärken i Uptown Kampala, inklusive självständighetsmonumentet, Mutesa II-monumentet, andra världskrigets monument, parlamentsbyggnaden, Bank of Uganda (est 1966), Uganda National Cultural Centre (est 1959) och Kampala Capital City Auktoritets huvudkontor. Besök Nakasero Market, som etablerades 1895 och flyttade till sin nuvarande stadskärna 1905. Längs vägen, beundra hinduiska tempel, inklusive Shree Swaminarayan Mandir, och andra kulturellt betydelsefulla platser.
Buganda Kingdom Tour. Från Kampalas CBD fortsätter du till Bugandariket och besöker Kabakas (kungens) palats. Utforska Idi Amin Armoury, se historiska kulsprutor och bläddra i palatsets bild medan du lär dig om Bugandas rika historia. Kör förbi Kabakasjön och besök Nantawetwamonumentet, en plats som öppnas först när kungen reser från palatset till Bugandaparlamentet. Fortsätt längs Royal Mile, sightseeing landmärken som Bulange (Buganda Parliament), Kabaka Monument, Zakaria Kisingiri House och Buganda Clan Symbols.
Gaddafi-moskén och utsikt över staden. När du fortsätter genom Kampala från 1980-talet, stanna till vid Gaddafi-moskén, en gåva från den avlidne överste Muammar Gaddafi. Klättra uppför minareten för en hisnande 360 graders utsikt över Kampalas berömda sju kullar, med landmärken som Fort Lugard (est 1800 av kapten Frederick Lugard) och Old Kampala Senior Secondary School, där Rwandas president Kagame en gång studerade.
Kasubigravarna (Unescos världsarv). Därefter besöker du Kasubigravarna, en vördad andlig och kulturell plats för Baganda. Gravarna fungerar som begravningsplats för de sista fyra Kabakas (kungarna) av Buganda och förblir ett centrum för kungafamiljen. Traditionella ritualer och kulturella seder iakttas fortfarande här, vilket bevarar Bugandas rika arv genom generationer.
Makerere University Sightseeing. Från Kasubi, kör genom Makerere University, Ugandas största och äldsta akademiska institution (est 1922) och Afrikas tredje äldsta universitet. Utforska landmärken som Gamla universitetsbiblioteket (från 1949), Huvudadministrationsbyggnaden (sedan 1941) och Utbildningsmonumentet.
Kalerwe Market och Baha'i Temple. På vägen till Baha’i Temple, passera genom Kalerwe Market, Kampalas livliga näst största lokala marknad, perfekt för att ta bilder eller plocka upp färsk frukt. Fortsätt till Kikaya Hill för att besöka Baha'i Temple, ett unikt andligt landmärke i Afrika. Ta en stund för lugn reflektion inne i templet och vandra genom de lummiga trädgårdarna och fånga minnesvärda bilder. Viktigt meddelande: Templet är stängt på måndagar.
Besök Ugandas nationalmuseum. Besök Ugandas nationalmuseum, Östafrikas första och äldsta museum, som grundades 1908 och flyttade till sin nuvarande plats 1954. Utforska Ugandas historia, kultur och arv, en perfekt höjdpunkt på din stadsrundtur. Efter en lunchpaus på en lokal restaurang fortsätter du till Martyrernas helgedom, en viktig andlig och historisk plats till minne av Ugandas kristna martyrer. Avsluta din rundtur på Ugandas nationalmuseum. Efteråt kan du bli avsläppt på ditt hotell i Kampala eller välja transfer utanför staden mot en extra kostnad.

One of my favorite tours I’ve ever been on. Very informative and entertaining. An amazing memory I will remember forever
Thank you, Brian, for the Review. We appreciated having you
Thankkkk youuuu very much for the wonderful and informative tour Catherine! We all really enjoyed our tour to Kampala Uganda
Thank you for booking your tour with us. We are glad you enjoyed it
If you're looking for an unforgettable tour experience, look no further than Mathew! From the moment we met him, it was clear that he wasn't just a guide, but someone truly passionate about sharing his knowledge and love for the area. His enthusiasm was infectious. Mathew’s depth of knowledge was impressive; whether it was historical facts, local legends, or hidden gems, he had an answer (and often a fascinating story) for everything. What really set Mathew apart was his commitment to making sure we saw as much as possible. He was always aware of time but never rushed us, adapting the tour based on our interests and ensuring we didn’t miss a thing. I can’t recommend Mathew highly enough—he truly goes above and beyond to make sure you have a memorable, enriching time.
Dear Guest, thank you for taking time off your schedule to write this amazing review. Mathew had a great time showing you around our city. Thank you for Booking with Gazelle Safari Company
Terrific day tour of Kampala. Hillary was a fantastic guide. He shuttled me around to the main sites and also customized the tour. Very interactive and interesting day. Highly recommend.
Dear Guest, Thank you for the review.
This experience was amazing! Mathew was such a patient and informative host. His excitement toward Ugandan history, culture, etc. is evident; he is bursting with energy and knowledge. I didn’t study Ugandan history well prior to my trip to Kampala, and after this experience I feel like I have a good understanding and an interest in learning more.
Dear Caitlin, We would like to thank you for choosing Gazelle Safari Company and we are glad that our services not only met but exceeded your expectations.
Fun and informative tour. My guide, Matthew, was knowledgeable and entertaining. A good way to see Kampala, without question.
Dear Kelly, Thank you for the review and we are glad you enjoyed your trip
We took a Kampala city tour and it was excellent. Matthew was helpful, funny and very enthusiastic. We loved his company, he’s really cook. We had a hangover because of partying the night before but he made our day🙂
Hi Laszlo, thank you for choosing Gazelle Safari Company to show you around Kampala. Mathew says only good things about you. He also enjoyed the trip.
I didn't have a lot of time for sight seeing in Kampala and this half tour with Gazelle Safari was the best decision ever. Mathew was my guide and he was all that and then some more. He was very polite and professional the entire time. He didn't rush me through any of the sites we visited and was very accommodating as-needed. He is very knowledgeable and learnt so much about Uganda than I would have ever thought! He is very passionate about his job too. Honestly I could go on and on about my experience but truly it was 100%. You should def book this tour and ask for Mathew. He will make you feel like you are the most important client ever!
Thank you for booking with Gazelle Safari Company and also for taking time to write this beautiful review. We are sure it will help other potential clients make the right choice.
Think you know all about Kampala? My multi-bachelors guide Mathew/Matthew will definitely suggest you otherwise (he has degrees in digital marketing, human resources, and very soon, law). To name but a few, knowledgable, critical, friendly, hospitable, are some prime qualities of Mathew. Despite only having spent half day with Mathew, I had gained a lifetime of knowledge and a lifelong friend. I am constantly overwhelmed and impressed by his passion in Kampala's history, his insights in Uganda's social situation, and his interests in sharing with me Uganda's culture. From our visits to the Kabaka's Palace, to our visits in the Uganda National Mosque and the Uganda Museum, Mathew provided all the essential information that I needed to know and provided critical answers to each question that I wished to know. Mathew knows all about the city and is also a global citizen who has in-depth knowledge of other countries, very likely even your own home country! You will be amazed as you engage in constructive conversations with Mathew. I will also have to thank you Gazelle's founder Annabel/Ann for arranging and organising this half-day tour on my last day in Uganda. This is certainly a perfect semicolon (not a full stop!) to my 8 days Uganda trip. As a solo traveller, there was never a dull moment with Mathew, who had also been entertaining, talkative and caring. Words simply cannot encapsulate how professional Mathew is. If you want something extraordinary, Mathew is the guide-to-go.
Dear Chloe, We are delighted to read this review from you. It is the perfect description of our team member Mathew and we are so proud to have him in Gazelle Safari Company. We are glad that he made you fall in love with our city. For now it is not good bye but see you Later !
I took this tour on my own after arriving in Kampala, and it was a great way to explore the city. I learned a lot about the history and culture, and I had a great experience! My tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour was by car and very comfortable, it was on time, and it was very easy to arrange/schedule.
Zoey, Thank you for choosing Gazelle Safari Company for your Kampala City tour and thank you for taking time to write this amazing review. Your Guide Mathew enjoyed showing you around and said you were a lovely client!
