THE HISTORY OF KAMPALA

Mutesa I, the Kabaka (King) of Buganda (1856 – 1884), had chosen the area that was to become Kampala as one of his favorite hunting grounds. The area was made up of hills and wetlands. It was an ideal breeding ground for various wild animals, particularly Antelope and the Impala, in whose name the city was named Kampala (an area known for Impalas at the time).

The city grew as the capital of the Buganda kingdom, into the capital city of Uganda. Traditionally, Kampala is a city of seven hills, and these include;

Kasubi Hill, this is home to Kasubi Tombs. A64 acre site where kings from the 1,000 year old Buganda Kingdom are buried. It a UNESCO world heritage site.
