The tombs have been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001. It is a 10minutes drive from Kampala and a perfect location to take a day trip to. A walk towards the tombs takes an hour. The entrance fees include a guide.
Female visitors at the tombs are required to carry a lesso/Khanga for covering up if you are wearing trousers or shorts. This shows a sign of respect, in addition hats should also be taken off at the entrance to the main structure.
The guides normally ask for voluntary donation while inside the tomb, so visitors need to carry extra cash. Artifacts, souvenirs and literature on the Buganda Kingdom are sold at the entrance.
Entry fees:
Ugandan citizens- Ush 1000
East African residents- Ush 5000
