Around Kampala Uganda

Kampala, estimated population 1.300.000, is Uganda's capital as well as its administrative, communication, economic, and transportation centre.
It is located in the southern part of the country on Lake Victoria. Kampala: it is said to be built on seven hills, the city centre is just one of them, Nakasero.
Despite its proximity, to the equator, Kampala has a moderate climate, largely because of its altitude.
Kampala is one of the few African capitals that were not founded by the colonialists.
On one of the hills that characterize the city at present, the kings of the Baganda-people had long established their court.
In 1890 Captain Frederick Lugard, representative of the British East Africa Company, built a fort on the opposite hill and the city grew a lot around it.
In 1962, Kampala replaced Entebbe as the national capital.
Unfortunately, much of the city was destroyed after the 1979 overthrow of Idi Amin's dictatorship and the subsequent Civil War.
In just a decade, since President Museveni came into power in 1986, Kampala has rapidly recovered and is now a safe, busy and lively city with an undeniable vibrant nightlife.

Bikes and other modes of transport

Boda Boda

So much to see everyone is on the move here traffic jams are normal and the mode of transportation varied Boda Boda is a quick way to get around it's a motorbike, I've seen all kinds of things being transported on them a bathtub a love seat four kids and a big bag and wood the kicker was another Boda Boda that had broken down at night I was not fast enough to take a picture of this.
The Boda Boda's hang out everywhere looking for customers they can zip through traffic quicker I'm surprised they don't get hit more often.
