Kampala: City Guided Walking Tour with Kabaka`s Palace

Kampala makes the most sense at street level, and this tour puts you right in the action. In four hours, you move from craft stalls and fruit vendors to matatu traffic, colonial memorials, and the royal world of Buganda. The best part is the local commentary: guides such as Pius, Sharif, and Tajirl bring history down to everyday life.

I like the mix of markets and major landmarks, since you see both how Kampala works now and how Uganda got here. I also like the small group limit of six, which gives you room to ask questions and adjust the pace. The catch is that this is a serious city walk in tropical heat, with crowded and sometimes rough areas along the route.
