A Tour through Ugandan History and Customs

This tour gives you a rich variety of history, starting with understanding the kingdoms that make up Uganda, the history of the Buganda Kingdom, and even lesser traveled places that were a treat to interact with locals in. Twaha went above and beyond, even dropping me off very close to home instead of at the pickup location. Would highly recommend!
Resourceful, Reliable, and Trustworthy Tour Guide

My 15-year old son and I did this tour with Twaha in July 2025, which we customized with a visit to the Equator. Twaha was an amazing tour guide, and we would definitely use him again for even longer tours in Uganda if/when we return. We also booked a tour with him to the Ndere Cultural Center, and although the car that was meant to transport us had last-minute mechanical issues, Twaha was able to pivot seamlessly, enabling him to get us to the Cultural Center on time, while still maintaining open and frequent communications with us the entire time, so we knew what was happening. I understand Twaha may be expanding his operations into Kenya/Tanzania, and we will definitely reach out to him about tours the next time we travel to East Africa.

Markets were amazing for me to see. Walking through felt safe although much happening. My Guide Twaha made me feel safe..His information and knowledge was next level.
Great experience for female travelers!

We are two women travelers and we had such a wonderful experience with Musah! We actually had the whole day in Kampala free instead of just the morning, and we contacted Twaha about extending the tour and he was very helpful! We were able to spend a lot of time in many places and learned so much about the history of Kampala and Uganda. We felt very safe and taken care of the whole day.
Twaha was a great guide...

Twaha was a great guide showing me important places in Kampala. Not only that, he told me a lot of the country's history. Some places I could have gone by myself, but being a white woman tourist, I wouldn't feel as safe as I've felt with him. Would recommend to anyone, but specially white women by themselves.
Great and convenient

It was a very nice explanation and experience. He picked as up from Entebbe, did the tour both in van and walking and dropped us off at airport as requested. Would recommend.

Twaha was incredible! Very knowledgeable about Kampala and all of Uganda - he was able to answer any questions we had for him. This tour is also special because not only do you learn about the big historic moments in Uganda, but you learn about some of the little special things, such as the unique Ugandan way that public transportation happens. One thing I recommend - book your tour in the beginning of the day! Twaha is very flexible & is willing to spend as much time with you exploring Kampala as you like! Highly recommend this tour!
Highly recommended tour

Twaha was very knowledgeable and professional. The tour was very comprehensive and I learnt so much about the history of Uganda and Kampala. He also was very patient and helped me with obtaining a Ugandan esim. I would definitely recommend Twaha.

The tour was very informative! It includes the main tourist spots around Kampala city. Beginning with a walking tour but then extending to driving to other locations. My guide, Musa, was very helpful in both explaining things and assisting with videos. The walk can be exhausting at times so prepare for that, especially in the evening, but it was a worthwhile experience to see Kampala as it is. It's worth paying to see instead of trying to uber everywhere by yourself, which was my first plan. I definitely recommend.
