Next, visit the iconic Gaddafi National Mosque, where you'll enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Kampala city. Then, step into power at the Kabaka's Palace, the official residence of the King of Buganda. Hear powerful stories of leadership, resilience, and Uganda's past.

Continue with a hands-on traditional food session. Learn how to harvest and prepare the green banana (matooke) and Luwombo. Discover the process of bark-cloth production, which comes from the African fig tree.

Proceed to Wakaliwood, Uganda's homemade action film industry, where creativity replaces big budgets, and the whole community becomes the film. Watch locals act and have a chance to participate in different scenes if interested.
Finally as the closes, you will receive a contemporary Ugandan souvenir to give you a good memory of your tour.
