From the center of Kampala, start at the famous Uganda Museum located on Kira Road. Head north on Kira Road until you reach the intersection with Jinja Road. Turn left onto Jinja Road and continue walking for about 1 kilometer until you reach the Nakawa Market area. From Nakawa Market, take the path leading to the Kawempe Division, where you will begin to see signs pointing towards Nabankema Hill. Follow the signs, which will guide you through local neighborhoods. The last stretch will involve a slight uphill walk as you approach Nabankema Hill. You may ask locals for directions, as they are usually very friendly and willing to help.

Boda Boda (Motorcycle Taxi)

If you prefer a faster option, you can take a boda boda. From your location in Kampala, find the nearest boda boda stage (these are usually found near markets or busy intersections). Request the rider to take you to Nabankema Hill, Kawempe Division. The ride should take approximately 15-30 minutes depending on traffic. Make sure to agree on the fare beforehand. Once you arrive, you may need to walk a short distance uphill to reach the top of Nabankema Hill.
