Mindful meoweler tips

Welcome to Kampala, the city of seven hills

Kampala got its name from impala antelopes which used to roam the hills. Today, it's a bustling city with a rich cultural heritage and a growing arts scene. Don't miss the National Museum and the Ndere Centre for a taste of Ugandan culture.

Get ready to eat like a cat

Ugandan food is delicious and full of flavor. Try the famous Rolex, a Ugandan street food made of chapati and eggs. For a more adventurous palate, go for the grasshopper snacks, a delicacy in Uganda.

Stay safe and keep your paws on the ground

Kampala is a safe city, but like any big city, it has its share of petty crime. Avoid flashing your valuables and keep your belongings close to you. Always use a registered taxi or boda-boda (motorcycle taxi) at night.
