Nestled on the lush Kasubi Hill, just a few kilometers from the bustling center of Kampala, lies one of Uganda’s most revered cultural treasures — the Kasubi Tombs. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this sacred site is more than a burial ground; it is the spiritual heart of the Buganda Kingdom and a powerful symbol of Uganda’s rich cultural heritage.

At Safari 2 Gorilla Tours, we believe that every journey should blend adventure with deep cultural immersion. That’s why we invite you to step beyond the safari trail and explore the timeless legacy of the Kabakas (kings) of Buganda.

A Living Museum of Buganda Culture

The Kasubi Tombs are the final resting place of four Buganda kings and continue to serve as a spiritual center for the Baganda people. The site is built almost entirely from organic materials — reed, thatch, and wood — showcasing exceptional traditional architecture. At the heart of the complex is the Muzibu Azaala Mpanga, a massive circular structure where the kings lie in eternal rest.

While on a guided visit with Safari 2 Gorilla Tours, you’ll gain rare insight into royal rituals, clan symbols, and the day-to-day practices of one of Africa’s most influential kingdoms.

Rebirth After Fire

In 2010, a devastating fire destroyed much of the main tomb structure. But thanks to the unity of the Baganda and international support, restoration efforts have brought the site back to life. Visiting today means witnessing both the resilience of a people and the enduring power of cultural preservation.

Combine Culture with Adventure

Your trip to Uganda doesn’t have to be all about wildlife (though we love our gorilla safaris in Bwindi!). With Safari 2 Gorilla Tours, you can tailor your itinerary to include Kampala cultural tours, and the Kasubi Tombs are an unmissable highlight. Pair your visit with stops at the Kabaka’s Palace, Namugongo Martyrs Shrine, or Ndere Cultural Center for a rich, full-day cultural experience.
