Kampala spreads across seven hills and is one of Africa's fastest-growing cities. Kasubi Royal Tombs are a UNESCO site, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest for mountain gorilla trekking is just a day's journey away, and the Source of the Nile at Jinja is only an hour's drive. Ugandan cuisine and local coffee are East Africa's finest.
