    I had a wonderful afternoon doing this walking tour with Fridaus! We saw so many things and she explained everything really nicely and gave me a great insight into the culture and history of the city of Kampala. I really appreciated having her to navigate the markets especially, which are amazingly crazy. She was cheerful, patient and gave me time to enjoy each of the locations and answered all my questions. Thank you Fridaus!!!

    We took a free walking tour with Fatuma and we absolutely amazed. Not only did we see like all the major city highlights of Kampala but Fatuma provided historical insights in the most diverse aspects of Ugandan culture and society. To walk the busy streets of Nakasero (the main market area), which can be overwhelming and even a little stressful, feels relaxed and casual in her presence. All in all it was an amazing experience I sincerely recommend to everyone who wants to experience Kampala in an authentic way. What’s more, as we were looking for somebody who could establish to a contact to the people of Wakaliwood (basically the Ugandan Hollywood, if you are not familiar with them, check them out) Fatuma connected us with them and made time to take us there just two days after our walking tour. This in itself also was one of the most amazing experience I’ve had travelling, as we were shown the wakaliwood studios, play around with the self made requisites, meet the mastermind behind wakaliwood Isaac Nabwana, as well as the actors and the wakastars. At the end of our tour I was even allowed to act out a scene with the actors which was filmed by Isaac the founder of wakaliwood himself. In summary I wholeheartedly recommend the experience and I would and will come back to do another tour in the future.

    Fatumah was an amazing guide through the busy streets of Kampala. She catered to our ideal start time and met us along with two other tourists. We had a nice walk around the city, learning about the fresh food and second hand markets, the national mosque, various monuments, the city’s history, the taxi park (wow!) and more... Fatumah is very knowledgeable and truly kind. It was such a pleasure learning from someone who knows the city, and all of its hills! Would highly recommend this tour as a way to first get your bearings, and to break into the pearl of Africa!
