Women-guided Kampala walking tour with local empowerment, iconic mosques and markets, plus independence and WWII memorial stops.
“Great way to see Kampala with a local guide. We walked a decent amount, but it wasn't too strenuous and there were a lot of attractions around one area. I also appreciate the mission of the tour in working to get women more involved in the tourism industry. Would recommend :)”

A 2 to 3 hour small-group walking tour of Kampala, featuring Gaddafi National Mosque views, local markets, Independence Monument, and more.
“Superb tour of Kampala, explanation for the construction of Gaddafi mosque, walk up the minaret / magnificent views and explanation of Kampala’s 7 hills. Very interesting walkthrough of 2 local markets!”
A 4-hour guided walking tour in Kampala, mixing markets, monuments, transport life, and a visit to Gadaffi National Mosque.
“It was a perfect experience. The guide was very knowledgeable and informative. Kampala is a large city with some nice areas. The markets are very crowded and might not be for everyone, but I enjoyed them nevertheless. At the end, we visited the beautiful mosque, which offers excellent views from the courtyard and (I can only assume) even better views from the top of the tower/minaret. You can even climb to the top. Unfortunately, I had to pass on that opportunity, as I was still recovering from my gorilla trekking in the previous days. But then again, that might just be a reason to come back someday.”
Kampala walking tour with Kabaka's Palace: Nakasero and Owino markets, Old Taxi Park matatus, Independence Monument. Small group, $40.
