What you can expect

Begin your journey with a visit to the historic Kasubi Tombs, the sacred burial ground of Buganda's past four kings and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Learn about the spiritual and political history of the kingdom.

Next, visit the iconic Gaddafi National Mosque, where you'll enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Kampala city. Then, step into power at the Kabaka's Palace, the official residence of the King of Buganda. Hear powerful stories of leadership, resilience, and Uganda's past.

Continue with a hands-on traditional food session. Learn how to harvest and prepare the green banana (matooke) and Luwombo. Discover the process of bark-cloth production, which comes from the African fig tree.

Proceed to Wakaliwood, Uganda's homemade action film industry, where creativity replaces big budgets, and the whole community becomes the film. Watch locals act and have a chance to participate in different scenes if interested.

After all that, enjoy a traditional lunch with authentic Buganda dishes like Matooke, Luwombo, and groundnuts with mushrooms, all steamed in banana leaves.

Finally, enjoy a vibrant cultural performance featuring traditional music, dance, and storytelling, bringing the spirit of Buganda to life.
