Kabaka's Palace in Mityana

Alot of rich culture here

Babakas place is at high meaning like hill place and it is a clean place with fresh air wawooo😚😚😋😋😋

Beautiful with unique history between the British colonial rule and Ugandan government

Great tour that shows you the palace as well as Idi Amins torture chambers. This is a must on your visit to Kampala

A rip off...nothing to see for the guided $10 fee. Just take a pick of the entrance gate and continue

I recommend the guided Royal Mile Tour organised by Buganda Tourism Board. Rich is history about Buganda.

Good place to visit for all people who want to know more about cultures, traditions and history. Tourists envoy visiting here.

Very nice.A place everyone should visit.

Pherook made the experience so memorable with the animated story telling.So much more can be done to visually enrich the experience like a limited access tour to the inside of the palace or have an outdoor museum. Preservation of some of the artefacts like the Kabakas car and the torture chambers can definitely be done betterUGX 10,000 gives you a guided tour of the palace grounds and armoury/torture chambers. A package deal of UGX 20,000 includes both parliament and the palaceWith enough time, one can walk the royal mile to the Baganda parliament or take a boda ride for about UGX 1000.Not much to see at parliament though. The guides at the palace and at parliament were however very accommodating and pleasant and made the experience that much better

it was a delight visiting Kabakas Palace for the first time after having read so much about it from when I was a young boy. so much history here. i hope to come back soon.

Very clean and green gardens. Good for the family

A great place to get an overview of Bugandas history! I really enjoyed the tour, our guide (Namagandawas soooo friendly and knowledgeable and answered every single of our very many questions. We had a nice time :)

Historical place. Seat of the Kabaka (kingof Buganda, the biggest kingdom in Uganda.

Its good for tourist to come and know more about Buganda king dom

Kabakas Palace opens you up to the rich historical way of life of the Bagamda people. This is where the King of the Baganda, the Kabaka resides. Along the one mile straight path you get to the Parliament of the Baganda people.Along the one mile road, commonly referred to as Mailo by the locals, you will see statues of different animals and birds, this makes up the 50 + clans of the Baganda Tribe.The experience astride a Boda Boda is breathtakingly beautiful!

It was great day to see this historical palace and what idi Amin doing to the people we have to learn from the history of our mother Africa and work how to get continent like the white developed educated less corruption

Rich history. The king does not live here due to the dark history of this place. It was once used as a military post, an armory, and a place of torture (in the armory).

Very rich history, norms and culture! Im a proud descendant of the Kingdom of Buganda.

The lubiri forms one of the different palaces of His Majesty the Kabaka of Buganda.Space available for sporting activities, football, netball, volleyball.

I wish the inside of the palace was open to the public. I was able to see the begining of what Ugandas current government is made of.

Great cultural and historical site for one to experience on a Kampala city tour.Guides are available to make your visit flawless and memorable.

Site has no official online presence, so how are visitors supposed to know when it is open and how much it costs?I got there, ticket is 35,000 for one foreign adult ($10 USD). OK, do you take credit cards? Yes, but machine is broken. Right. Bought ticket and was then told I was not allowed to walk around by myself, I needed a guide. Is the guide included? No. How much is the guide? Its up to you. You mean guide is included but a tip is up to me? Guide is not included.I have no clue what that circular conversation was about. I was not charged an additional fee for the guide. I tipped the guide.This would be a lot easier if relevant information were posted online and also prominently visible at ticket office. Relevant info includes entry fees, whether credit cards are accepted (dont say theyre accepted but not have a working machine), that a guide is required, that no additional fee is charged for the guide but tips are appreciated, hours of operation, and location of main security gate.Site is an important spot for Uganda, but as far as tours go, there isnt much to see. There is no museum or visitors center. Guide takes you to exterior front of undistinguished 1930s house but you cant go inside or walk around the building. Its just a photo op. Basically guide verbally rehashes recent Ugandan history while standing in front of house.Perhaps main draw for many is an arsenal formerly used for torturing people. Dark place to be sure, but it looks like a truck unloading platform which is its purpose-built function. There is no exhibit, no supporting evidence, no oral histories, absolutely nothing to substantiate and deepen this presentation. Its "Bad stuff happened here, take my word for it."I went to see the arsenal. For those who arent locals for which the site is imbued with meaning, unless you have a specific reason to visit, its a tough sell. Given the unprofessionalism with which site presents itself to the world, its an even tougher sell to foreign tourists.DATE VISITED: 24 Jan 2022; 35,000/foreign adult plus whatever tip for guide

Excellent guided tour from Fred. A thorough history lesson and recommended visit for those looking for this type of excursion. Word of warning, do be prepared to learn about some harrowing atrocities during the tour.

Interesting place to visit & know about modern Ugandan history. The tour guide Sarah was very friendly & provided thorough information about the place.The ticket is bit too overpriced at $10 knowing that one cant enter inside the palace. Overall, bit overpriced.

A fascinating piece of Buganda history. The Royal Palace of the Buganda Kingdom, built in 1885 by Kabaka (KingDaniel Mwanga 11, is key to understanding Buganda culture and history, but thoroughly undermarketed as a tourist attraction. This is really a place all visitors to Kampala should have on their checklist. The site is also home to the torture chamber of former dictator Idi Amin Dada

Went to do a photoshoot at the amazing gardens of this palace.The palace guards were very nice and understanding, the fee we paid was very affordable

That is a really interesting historic landmark. A must visit in Kampala.

Very beneficial to get a quick overview of the history and understand how the politics works in Uganda. Guides are knowledgeable and easy to ask questions ro

This is my favorite destination in Kampala. The grounds are lovely. When I was there the King was also there at the palace along with the Prime Minister. When I arrived the Prime Minister drove through the grounds and out the gate in a black SUV on his way back to the Parliament building. The subterranean prison and torture chambers were of course very sobering and scary. I had a wonderful tour guide. I can’t remember her name but her photo is attached. This ought to be the prime destination in Kampala, in my opinion.

Place full of history and interesting facts about Idi Amin regime. Not far from palace is torture chamber where your guide will take you. Scary place.

Unique place. See where the king lived and also where Iddi Amin ruthlessly torched and killed.

This is a site to behold yet soul search too. It represents a transactional regime as well as an alleged former torture center in the Idi Amin regime.You arent allowed to access the interior unless its a state function or otherwise.

Nice place to visit, full of culture and the hosts are very welcoming

Beautiful..with a peaceful and clean aura. Be careful not to pack in the Kings way!

Get to learn and emerse yourself into the rich history of the Baganda royal family. The torture chambers can be a bit scary. The tour guide was amazing and knowledgeable.

The environment are not well maintained as they have Buganda Expo every year

It was a nice trade show with very many things from animals birds reptiles, farming foods corporate companies children play ground etc

A house English style designed. History of it little bit sad. There is a place next to palace done for torture the people, they said many people died there.

This palace provides good background for wedding pictures and free environment with your loved ones .. it also has Historical artifacts inside

All the history about Buganda kingdom in Uganda is where you can best get it. With great informants and pictorial views about the kingdom. More so visit the once Amins arsenal/ prison for Ugandans in the 1970s that was built by the Israelites.

Its a very lovely place where you can get to relax and meet some times new people and create new friendships and even you will be able to keep them for a long long time there are so many public institutions, secondary primary schools as well and royal hotels. Welcome

Lake breeze all the way to relax, especially if you at Royal lake view gardens Nabunya road

this place has lots of historical facts. most important thing is that torture room makes me feel weird. tour guide explains how cruel torture it was happened.

I actually love this Kingdom so much it is one of the oldest and I get to Canada homes in Africa Im proud to be one of its own.

This is a must visit place in Kampala. Make you get a guide to show upon around. Especially the torture chambers used by Idi Amin and other rulers then. Its one straight road to get there, and its well maintained.

This place must be in your must visit places while you are in Kamplala. It is nestled on top of one of the tallest hills around Kampala(It is the Kabakas palace after alland one gets a good panoramic view of downtown Kampala.One gets a guide to take you round the place who has good grasp of ugandan/Bagandan history.You also get to view the dilapidated torture chambers used by Idi Amin and Obote regimes.Really enjoyed the place.

nice place to visit in Kampala.Walking along the streets Kampala to go from town to Kabaka palace to Buganda Parliament to the cathedral above the Melung hospital from where you can see a whole view of kampala and then to the Gaddafi mosque is a walk of around 2 hours but a wonderful way to spend time in Kampala.

Although you cant go inside the palace itself, guided visit of its surroundings is definitely worth it. Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave detailed answers to every question I had. The highlight was the torture chamber.

Not organized and old place. But they have graceful story that is interesting. One of photo is about charge for explainig and tour.

When I heard about a palace in my mind it was a old and opulant place. But this is a modern palace well laid out in a hill top with possibly manicured gardens when the king actually lived there. Sadly the place was closed due to renovations. How ever the palace hide a dark secret, the Idi Amins torture chambers. Was a humbling experience to visit the chambers
