Rising magnificently to the height of 6 meters, the monument commemorates the attainment of Independence in 1962. It is situated at the heart of the city of Kampala amidst Grand Imperial Hotel, Sheraton Hotel and Standard Chartered Bank. It was put up by the British colonial administration a year before the celebration of Uganda’s independence in 1962. This historical feature depicts a man unwrapping a child and raising a child to touch the sky. This demonstrates a new born nation set free from bondage of colonialism”. The independence monument was crafted by Gregory Magoba and unveiled by the first Prime Minister of Uganda Apollo Milton Obote (R.I.P).family. The Edward Muteesa II Monument: This is positioned at the Speke road and Nile Avenue Junction in close proximity to the independence monument.

I first did the walking tour with Musa and it was really nice walking around the city and seeing the market and the mosque. A few days later I did the chimpanzee trekking and it was nice to see them close and we also stayed at a nice hotel! Would definitely recommend to everyone!!

This was a really cool tour. A great way to get into all of the nitty gritty little spaces that I would be too afraid/oblivious to enter by myself

The guide Musa took me on a free walking tour through Kampala and he did a fabulous job. He has a vast knowledge about his city and its culture, showed me both tourist sights and local places and let me try different typical food. He was showing me his city less as a guide and more as a friend. Thank you, Musa!

Had an awesome day walking around Kampala with Musa. We explored all sorts of places I would not have felt comfortable going on my own and even after the walking tour was done he came and did the other things we wanted to do like see the Palace, find some material to buy and even walked us back to our hostel, telling us tips and tricks and fun facts along the way. So generous with his time and so knowledgeable of the city. Will definitely be exploring another part of the city with Musa soon!
