Continue to Namirembe Cathedral, the oldest cathedral in Uganda, perched on Namirembe Hill. Admire the beautiful Anglican architecture, peaceful gardens, and panoramic views of Kampala.

Then, take a longer Boda ride to the Namugongo Martyrs Shrine, an iconic site where Catholic and Anglican martyrs were burned alive for refusing to denounce Christianity. Visit both the Catholic Basilica and Anglican shrine, and learn about Uganda's deep faith history.

Return to Old Kampala to visit one of Africa's largest mosques, the Gaddafi National Mosque, gifted by Muammar Gaddafi. Explore the stunning interiors and climb the minaret for a breathtaking 360-degree view of all of Kampala.

Stop for an authentic Lusaniya Lunch, a traditional Baganda royal feast. All dishes are served together on a large round platter while seated. Enjoy Luwombo (chicken/beef steamed in banana leaves), Matooke, Pilau, Cassava, Sweet Potatoes, Beans, and local vegetables.

After lunch, park the Bodas and dive into the city on foot. Visit Owino Market (St. Balikuddembe), the biggest and most chaotic market in East Africa. Explore the Old Taxi Park, where you can experience organized chaos with taxis, shouting conductors, and boda-bodas everywhere.
