Kampala Greeters
Free Walk with a local
Discover Kampala through a free walk with a local
Experience the vibrant city of Kampala through the eyes of a local by joining the Kampala Greeters. From the bustling city centre to the hidden gems of Kampala, our Greeters will take you on a journey through its diverse neighbourhoods, historical sites and cultural landmarks like the Kasubi Tombs, Bahai Temple, Gaddafi Mosque and Uganda Martyrs Shrines. Explore the colourful markets, immerse yourself in the rich history, and witness the vibrant arts and music scene that defines Kampala. Beyond the city limits, we can also guide you to the stunning natural wonders surrounding Kampala. From the serene shores of Lake Victoria to the lush landscapes of nearby national parks, you’ll discover the breathtaking beauty that Uganda has to offer.
As you stroll through Kampala’s streets, our Greeters will not only provide valuable insights and local knowledge but also recommend hidden spots and lesser-known attractions that may not be found in travel guides. Whether you prefer a leisurely walk, a bike ride, or a cup of Ugandan coffee, our Greeters are here to offer their suggestions and make your visit truly memorable. Join us and discover the heart and soul of Kampala, where culture, history, art, and warm hospitality await!

Remember: A Greet means meeting a local resident to walk around town with you as new friends. The first step will be to talk to the Greeter about the details of your personalized tour. It's not about taking part in a standardized tour, but about exploring the city with an expert volunteer .
Maximum six people!
Our core value #2 reads "Greeters welcome individuals and may serve small groups of up to six people."
The reason is that each Greet should be an opportunity to talk to each other and that seems impossible in bigger groups.
Also important: we do not mingle people from different requests but serve only you (and your friends).
Meet a local volunteer
Our core value #1 reads "Greeters are volunteers, a friendly face for those visiting a city."
It's true: Our Greeters love their city or town and they are proud to share this with guests.
How could you better discover the most interesting spots of a place?
Free service, no tipping
Our core value #3 reads "Meeting a Greeter is free of charge."
We do not follow a "give what you think is ok (but please give)" strategy. Greeters honestly do not like any tipping because what they give comes from their heart not because of any tipping expectation.
If you would like to support the Greeters as a whole you are welcome to donate to the International Greeter Association here.
