Also, note that it has two rainy seasons as on stars from March to May and the other from August to December.
Origin of the name Kampala
The history or origin of Kampala is like that of many other cities in the world, it can be wrapped in both folklore and historical facts. According to folklore, swamps and hills dominated much of the area where it presently stands. This made it an ideal habitat for Impala and other members of the antelope family. The animals grazed on the slopes of the hills and came down to the swamps for water. The palace of the Kabaka (king) of Buganda, located on a landscape rich in Impala herds. The king thus turned it into his hunting grounds. Folklore merged with history when the British Empire builders arrived at the end of the 19th century. “Impala” was the English name for that particular antelope family. So the British referred to the area as the “hill of the Impala”, which the Baganda translated into Luganda as “kasozi Ke'mpala” and eventually “Kampala”. Kasozi means hill. So whenever the Kabaka left the palace to go hunting his favorite game, royal courtiers would say “the Kabaka has gone to Kampala to hunt”, thus the name was born. The tag “the hill of the Impala”, however, specifically referred to the hill on which colonial victory, Captain Fredrick Lugard, of the Imperial British East African Company, established a base in 1890.
Now known as Old Kampala, this hill would be the administrative headquarters of the company (and Uganda) until 1894 when the administrative headquarters of the British Protectorate was transferred to Entebbe. In 1962 upon attainment of independence, it regained its status as the capital of Uganda. From a small hamlet occupying 19 square kilometers, it had spread to seven hills by the time of independence, earning the tag “city of seven hills”. The original seven hills are Mengo hill, Rubaga hill, Namirembe hill, Makerere hill, Kololo hill, Nakasero hill, and Kampala (Old Kampala) hill. Today, greater Kampala stands on at least 21 hills. We take you through the prominent hills that form the modern-day capital and their signature to the city’s political and socio-economic life, starting with the original seven. The second class of Kampala hills includes Mengo hill, Old Kampala hill, Lubaga hill, Kisaasi hill, Kiwatule hill, Kamwokya hill, Mulago hill, Makerere hill, Nakulabye hill, Makindye hill, Kabalagala hill, Kansanga hill, Kibuli hill, Nateete hill, Busega hill, Lubya hill, Mutundwe hill, Kasubi hill, Wandegeya hill, Wakaliga hill, Ndeeba hill, Kibuye hill, Katwe hill, Nsambya hill, Najjanankumbi hill, Namasuba hill, Najjeera hill, Kalerwe hill, Namungoona hill, Namuwongo hill, Kisugu hill, Bukasa hill, Bwayise hill, Kawempe hill, Luzira hill, Nakawa hill and many more.
Kampala capital city is one of the most exciting cities in Africa, with so many sights and sounds that you could easily give you an amazing experience, either on a ride or by a walking tour. But having a walking tour is the best experience you could have. It is a busy city; this makes it to be regarded as “a city that never sleeps” so it’s advised to have a Kampala city nightlife tour. It has lots of people, therefore venturing it and doing various activities alone could be quite scary hence there is a need for a guide who can be in line to lead you through the chaos of the city center and the maze that characterizes Kampala.

It was described contemporaneously by W E Hoyle as a remarkable building with walls of sun-dried bricks and brick columns supporting the thatch roof containing 120 tons of thatch and a ceiling covered with washed reeds of elephant grass.

The cathedral's yard has a cemetery where various historical religious personalities lay in rest including the first African Catholic Bishop Joseph Kiwanuka, the first African Catholic cardinal, Cardinal Nsubuga Emmanuel to mention but a few.
The hill derives its name from the Luganda word Okubaga literally meaning to plan, the hill was used by the Buganda Military generals to plan their wars thus the name. The tale has it that the place was a palace of the 19th King of Buganda, Kabaka Nsobya from 1724 to 1734. In the late 1800s, the fire tragedy befell the place forcing people to abandon it.

The Holy Gadafi National Mosque: Att old Kampala hill which rises gently to the immediate west of the city center less than five minutes’ walk from the new taxi park was the site of the original fort and capital founded by Captain Lugard in 1890. Enclosed within the oval road of Old Kampala, the prominence is sprinkled with limited reasonable colonial-era buildings of Asian design now generally rather run-down though some have been outstandingly refurbished. The Old Kampala area today is most distinguished as the focal point for Kampala’s Islamic Community and the sight of an imposing new mosque.
This was initiated by President Idi Amin in the 1970s but the project stalled after the dictator’s overthrow and has only recently been completed funded by Libyan leader late Colonel Gadhafi hence originating the mosque name. The structure lay dormant as an ugly concrete monolith with a lofty minaret overlooking the city of Kampala. In its back yard lied the old museum which is one of Kampala’s oldest surviving buildings sadly being slowly dismantled by the grip of a stranger fig tree. When the work on the mosque restarted after a 25-year delay the building was demolished and a replica with the same vaguely Arcadian frontage erected at a more prominent location beside Old Kampala Road.
The groundwork for the mosque began again in 2004 when the old unfinished establishment was smashed. The new mosque was formally opened and dedicated for worship in 2008 by the late Colonel Gaddafi himself in an event that was attended by several African heads of state. The popularity of Gaddafi National Mosque can be attributed to several factors with the first reason being the fame of the late Colonel Gaddafi himself who left a landmark on international politics so whenever people both locals and foreigners hear that he did such a thing as constructing a National Mosque for Muslim community in Uganda, the travelers usually come to have a look at the second largest mosque in Africa. The Mosque has interesting features that can attract both local and international tourists one of them is as; It’s the Minaret or the prayer tower for Muslims. The mosque’s amazing interior that couldn’t miss seeing. The old Kampala mosque has a tower that can give you a clear view of Kampala city.

The Baha’i temple functioning was disrupted by Idi Amin who banned the Baha’i faith from the country together with 26 other denominations and its activities stopped on 16 September 1977.

In the last week of May, an unknown number of Baganda men and men suspected or known to have been baptized were detained near Mengo and forced to march by some accounts naked while others were dragged on their back to the executing place - Namugongo, after which they were kept in captivity for a couple of days while a large pyre was being prepared.
While on the morning of 3rd June, those prisoners who had not already done so were given one final opportunity to renounce their recently assumed belief, and no one of these coverts accepted. Meanwhile, one of the Martyrs by the names of Charles Lwanga who was the head of the catholic contingent was hacked apart and thrown into the fire there and then. On the following day, lasting converts were bound in reed mats and thrown onto the pyre, and burnt alive.

In the year 1920, Pope Benedict XV paved the way for future canonization by declaring blessed the 13 known catholic martyrs at Namugongo together with another nine catholic victims of separate killings in May 1886.
The 22 catholic martyrs were finalized canonized during the Vatican II conference by Pope Paul VI on 18 October 1964.

" Resty was our tour guide and she made our time in Kampala absolutely wonderful. Her recommendations were really helpful and she was really flexible. She also helped us with our shops"
"Our tour guide, Sharif, was fantastic. We were able to see the main highlights of Kampala city even though we booked at the last minute. To note, Kampala city was extremely congested, hot, and dusty. Driving through Kampala was difficult and slow. It took five hours to return us to our hotel, which was in Entebbe, about 50 kilometers away."
