There are so many reasons to explore Uganda's capital before heading out on safari. Most visitors landing in Uganda skip Kampala and head straight for the untamed upcountry for up-close encounters with elephants and mountain gorillas. Yet the capital city's dusty urban sprawl-set among seven green hills dotted with terracotta red roofs and traditional Ganda huts peeking out from tropical tangles of mango trees-is more than worthy of exploration.
