Kabaka’s Lake is the largest man-made lake in Africa, constructed by Kabaka Mwanga. It was originally intended to connect to Lake Victoria and serve as an escape route in case of an attack on the throne. The project was never completed, and the lake remains a royal landmark near the palace.

Today, the lake is home to various bird species and supports small-scale fishing activities. It also serves as a leisure and relaxation spot for residents and visitors.

Namirembe Cathedral, also known as St. Paul’s Cathedral Namirembe, was first built in 1903 by Buganda Kingdom craftsmen as a large grass-thatched structure. It was later destroyed by fire and lightning before being replaced by the current domed building.

This cathedral is part of the Church of Uganda (Anglican) and is known for its strong evangelical traditions. Located on a hill overlooking Kampala, it offers stunning panoramic views of the city and remains one of the most significant religious landmarks in Uganda.

Rubaga Cathedral is the oldest Catholic cathedral in Uganda. Like Namirembe Cathedral, it sits on a hill with commanding views of Kampala. The cathedral complex hosts various church activities and is surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens, trees, and flowers.

From the top of Rubaga Hill, visitors enjoy impressive views of Kampala city and admire the grand architectural design of the cathedral.

The Baha’i Temple, located on Kikaaya Hill, is the only Baha’i House of Worship in Africa, making it a major religious and tourism attraction. The temple is set within peaceful, park-like grounds featuring fruit trees, flowers, manicured lawns, and clearly marked walking paths leading to the dome.

This serene environment attracts visitors seeking quiet reflection, picnics, and relaxation. It is also a popular spot for couples and families enjoying quality time.

Namugongo Martyrs’ Shrine is one of the most important religious sites in Uganda. It commemorates the 22 Catholic martyrs who were burned to death on the orders of Kabaka Mwanga after refusing to abandon their Christian faith.

Every 3rd of June, pilgrims from across Uganda and Africa—many traveling on foot—gather here to honor the martyrs. The site features unique architecture and a sacred spring believed to possess healing properties, from which visitors collect holy water. This is a must-see destination for religious and cultural travelers.
