Kampala

Kampala, the capital of Uganda, is a city with a long history in East Africa. After the 15th century, it was the capital of the Kingdom of Buganda. The word "Kampala" in the local language means "the land of small antelope". It is said that it was originally the place where the King of Buganda herded sheep. It is close to the equator, but the climate is not hot due to the high terrain. The south is adjacent to Lake Victoria, the second largest freshwater lake in the world. The city is composed of more than 40 mountains, including 7 mountains, which are slightly flat in the middle. It is the main street and business district in the city center. The city is one of the famous tourist cities in Africa, with lush trees, beautiful scenery and streets built along the undulating mountains.
