Things to Do in Bahai Temple

Uganda's capital holds one of just eight continental Bahai Houses of Worship worldwide. That's genuinely rare. Kampala spreads across seven hills with modern buildings, busy markets, and green spaces that capture East Africa's energy—though traffic can test your patience. The Bahai Temple sits on Kikaya Hill in the Kawempe division, offering spiritual significance and some of the best panoramic views of the city and Lake Victoria in the distance. Architecture alone justifies the trip.

Kampala's food scene surprises many visitors. You'll find everything from street food stalls serving excellent rolex (chapati with eggs) to upscale restaurants offering both local and international food—quality varies wildly though. The Indian food here is genuinely good, reflecting the city's historical connections, and local Ugandan dishes like matoke and posho are worth trying. Areas like Acacia Avenue and Garden City have concentrations of restaurants. Local markets offer the most authentic eating but stick to busier, well-established places if you're not used to local food.

Kampala sits close to the equator. Temperatures stay fairly consistent year-round, but dry seasons from December to February and June to August tend to be more comfortable for getting around—though December and January can get crowded. The rainy seasons aren't necessarily a dealbreaker since showers are often brief and intense rather than all-day affairs, but they can make transportation more challenging. For visiting Bahai Temple specifically, any time works.
