Twaha is a very warm guy...

Twaha is a very warm guy and has been a great guide during our Kampala discovery. He told us a lot about Uganda and its history, walking by some main locations within the city and visiting 3 other highlights with the car. Communication and information was direct and clear and all our questions were answered. I would definitely recommend.

Operator response

So greatful for the opportunity to show you around Kampala Looking forward to hosting you some day in the future

A Great Day!

Twaha was such an organized, conscientious and professional guide.  He is very knowledgeable and passionate about Uganda and covered all the bases about historical and present day Uganda.  He went above and beyond! It was a real pleasure getting to know him and Kampala.

Excellent local culture tour!

My Kampala culture tour was absolutely outstanding. Musa, our guide, brought the city to life with his deep knowledge, warm personality, and genuine passion for Ugandan history and traditions. He navigated us through vibrant markets, historic sites, and local neighborhoods with ease, always making sure everyone felt comfortable and engaged. What stood out most was how Musa blended storytelling with real cultural insight, he didn’t just show us Kampala, he helped us understand it. His professionalism, kindness, and sense of humor made the entire experience unforgettable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kampala. With Musa as your guide, you’re guaranteed an enriching, enjoyable, and truly memorable experience.

Operator response

Perfect introduction to Uganda and kampala

We did a kampala city tour with Twaha, and it was an incredible experience. He's an outstanding guide who brought Uganda's history, culture, and everyday way of life to life in such an engaging way. The tour was well organized, insightful, and truly eye opening we learned so much and enjoyed every moment. Highly recommend!

Great experience

We had a wonderful tour via Musa! He is very knowledgeable and kind hearted. The tour was lovely and would book again with Musa. We met Augustine at the palace who was also very knowledgeable and a lovely tour around the Gadaffi mosque by Sheriff. All guides offered a great experience.

A Tour through Ugandan History and Customs

This tour gives you a rich variety of history, starting with understanding the kingdoms that make up Uganda, the history of the Buganda Kingdom, and even lesser traveled places that were a treat to interact with locals in. Twaha went above and beyond, even dropping me off very close to home instead of at the pickup location. Would highly recommend!

Grateful for the feedback Happy to know you enjoyed the Kampala experience

Resourceful, Reliable, and Trustworthy Tour Guide

My 15-year old son and I did this tour with Twaha in July 2025, which we customized with a visit to the Equator. Twaha was an amazing tour guide, and we would definitely use him again for even longer tours in Uganda if/when we return. We also booked a tour with him to the Ndere Cultural Center, and although the car that was meant to transport us had last-minute mechanical issues, Twaha was able to pivot seamlessly, enabling him to get us to the Cultural Center on time, while still maintaining open and frequent communications with us the entire time, so we knew what was happening. I understand Twaha may be expanding his operations into Kenya/Tanzania, and we will definitely reach out to him about tours the next time we travel to East Africa.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing to travel with us! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a great experience with Twaha. We’d be honored to welcome you back for a longer adventure in East Africa. We truly look forward to hosting you again
