Kampala is a dynamic city with much to see and learn both of today and its often times checkered history. From the troubled times of Idi Amin to the more positive todays of the national theater and the nearby Artisans Market compete with some of the finest paintings you will see anywhere. The Central Mosque is one of the largest in Africa and the national history museum highlights the progression forward of the country. A crowded sometimes Chaotic Kampala lends itself to a car and driver who knows the city well. Gazelle Safari works towards giving you an informative and enjoyable day.

Whole tour for Kampala city was great but the centre of attraction was the late Muammar Gaddafi of Libya. It is a beautiful gift to the muslim population of this place, by the Late Colonel Muammar Gaddafi former president of Libya. It has unique architecture and embraces different cultures. There are so many mosques made by Muammar Gaddafi in Africa but I just got the chance to see 3 - one in Dodoma, Anzania, the other one in Kigali Rwanda and this one in Kampala Uganda. It is located one of the hills in kampala, that was already a vintage point. Before entering the compound, there is a gate where the security guard check out all the car. There is ample car park, one side is library, conference and other is the mosque. The thing in which everybody was intrested was, the minerat steps to see the Kampala city view. I would suggest, if you are on a visit to Kampala then must come to this place.
