Kampala - Uganda: 10 Best Places To Visit | Tourist Guide
In this video, I bring you Kampala - Uganda: 10 Best Places To Visit | Tourist Guide.
The “Pearl of Africa”, Uganda is blessed with countless tourist attractions. Talk of national parks like Queen Elizabeth, Murchison Falls, Kidepo and Bwindi Impenetrable forest. Tourists visiting Uganda can take part in amazing activities like gorilla trekking, mountain hiking, whitewater rafting in Jinja, visiting lake Bunyonyi and the Ssese Islands in lake Victoria to mention but a few. Because most of these exciting activities and attractions are found in the countryside, a tour of the capital Kampala is not a priority for most tourists.

Uganda National Theatre. There’s a quality program of music, film, dance and drama performances in the theatre itself, but most travellers come here for the popular, free nightly outdoor events.
