History & Attractions In Kampala City
Kampala was originally enclosed around the Old Kampala hill which was once a hunting reserve for the Kabaka (King of Buganda Kindgom), the hill was home to several antelope species most notably the Impala and so British Colonialists decide to name it “the Hill of the Impala” which in local Luganda language translates as “Akasozi ke’Empala” finally shortening it to K’empala.
