Coming from a Southeast Asian city, I found downtown Kampala to be intense, chaotic, and overwhelming in a way I’d never experienced before. But Twaha turned that potential anxiety into one of my best decisions during my visit. I was lucky enough to be his only guest that afternoon, so it felt like a private tour. We covered every spot Twaha proposed—plus my own request to try local food. We ended up having lunch at Owino Market, eating like locals among the crowd. It was truly one of my favorite moments in Uganda! Another highlight was diving deep into the bustle of Owino, the city’s biggest market. Twaha even encouraged me to walk in front, so I could feel a bit like a solo traveler while still having his guidance and security. The result? A crazy, intense, and unforgettable experience. Throughout the walk, Twaha was incredibly informative, sharing everything from modern-day Kampala life to the history dating back to Uganda’s kingdoms. Starting at the National Mosque’s minaret was perfect for a visual person like me—seeing the city from above while learning its background helped me piece everything together. He has been guiding visitors since 2016, so he’s definitely an expert—and yet he never seems to tire of explaining everything with genuine passion to each guest. He also communicated tipping guidelines right after my booking. And, honestly, it’s well worth it. Exploring the organized chaos of downtown Kampala is a must—and doing it with Twaha is something I’m proud of and will never regret. Highly recommended!
