Kampala Free Tour: Uganda’s Royal Mile & King's Lake

Begin your journey at The Royal Mile, a historic road that stretches between the King’s administrative offices and the King’s palace. Walk along the road, which is lined with commercial businesses, restaurants, and universities. Learn about the road’s history, which dates back to a time when the King would ride his bike across the hill to access his offices and discuss with his officers. See the tribe’s main totems, based on animals with significant history, and learn about the King’s poignant history behind the naming. Next, view Uganda’s manmade lake and prominent landmarks of Kampala city, which hold significant culture and history. See the King’s Lake and its tiny island, which has kept the passage of Kings for centuries. Later, choose to pay to enter the palace grounds and learn more about the traditions, including visiting the poignant chambers of torture by perhaps Africa’s toughest President Idi Amin Dada.
