Kampala: Kisenyi Slum Walking Tour with Local Guide

Explore Kisenyi, one of Kampala’s oldest informal settlements, on a guided walking tour. See the community’s resilience, learn about its history, and visit a local organization.
Step into the pulse of urban Kampala with a guided walking tour through Kisenyi, one of the city’s oldest and most densely populated informal settlements. Located just minutes from downtown and the taxi park, Kisenyi is a maze of narrow alleys, iron-sheet housing, and vibrant micro-economies that reveal the resilience and ingenuity of its community.

Pass busy welding workshops, tailoring kiosks, roadside chapati stalls, and informal savings groups meeting under tarps. See daily life — women braiding hair outside their homes, kids playing football in tight corridors, and vendors hauling jerry cans from communal taps.

Learn about Kisenyi’s history as a landing point for migrants from across Uganda and neighboring countries, its challenges with sanitation and drainage, and the grassroots projects addressing them — from youth skilling centers to women’s crafts cooperatives.

Stop at a community-based organization where you can see recycled paper-bead jewelry being made or hear from local leaders about urban resilience. Photography is allowed only with permission. Part of the fee directly supports local initiatives.
