Kampala

Kampala is Uganda’s capital and largest city located in the central region. The city is located a few kms from L. Victoria shores on Port Bell and was originally formed covering 7 hills of Old Kampala, Mengo, Kibuli, Lubaga, Namirembe, Kasubi and Nsambya but has since then expanded beyond.
Before colonial time, Kabaka Mutesa 1 had gazetted that area as a hunting ground due to its great population of antelopes especially the impala. When Europeans came, they named it a hill of Impalas which the Baganda translated into ‘akasozi k’empala’ that was later named Kampala. It is also hear where most of the administrative offices are located including state house, National Television, ministerial offices and the Uganda parliament.
