Butone of the greatest places to visit in Kampala is the Owino Market, which is on a whole otherlevel.Located in Kampala's downtown, this multipurpose market is utterly hectic. Over 20,000 peoplevisit Owino Market every day, making it one of Uganda's biggest marketplaces. Beautiful fabricswith African prints, used clothing, shoes, bags, food, electronics, vegetables, herbs,pharmaceuticals, and anything else you can think of are its main attractions. In honour of one of the nation's martyrs who was slain in the region in the 1880s under KabakaMwanga's command, the government renamed this market St. Balikuddembe Market. Still,everyone can't get the name Owino out of their heads.Here, you can also purchase souvenirs at local rates. Prices increase when they encounter aMzungu, so be prepared to haggle! Even so, I had a great time buying here, and it's a muchcheaper way to get some amazing goods from Uganda. There are many impressions and somuch to see. BEST TIME TO VISIT KAMPALA CITYThe two dry seasons that Kampala sees are the longer one, which lasts from June to August, andthe shorter one, which lasts from December to February.Pleasant Weather: These periods are perfect for sightseeing, nature excursions, and otheroutdoor pursuits because they are typically warm, sunny, and have less precipitation.Outdoor Activities: The greatest times to visit national parks, see cultural landmarks, or engagein water sports on Lake Victoria are during the dry seasons. CONCLUSIONUganda's capital, Kampala, provides visitors with a variety of historical, cultural, and naturalattractions.
