At Good Glass we up-cycle used bottles from the local area of Kampala into uniquely beautiful household items, reducing the damaging litter in the streets whilst promoting environmental sustainability. All of this is produced in Uganda, by Ugandans! If you're in the area, come visit to see an array of items from chandeliers to candle holders. Great gifts for yourself or a friend. You are most welcome!
My wife and I stumbled onto this place when walking around Kampala, but I'd really recommend going out of your way to check out this shop. Really cool way to promote reuse of products and directly impacting the community in need.

The Social Innovation Museum is a unique place that will inspire you to want to change the world. Social Innovations are dynamic and living, thereby you will see how they happen and be able to interact with our Social Innovators from the Social Innovation Academy (SINA). Scholars will give you a free tour (tips towards the museum encouraged) and tell you their story, what they are working on and show you our 25+ social enterprises and innovations. Some highlights are our upcycled buildings from plastic bottles and the beautiful hill where we are located. We also offer specific workshops (e.g. upcycling plastic bottle construction) and training in social innovation with our facilitators from the Social Innovation Academy (SINA).
This is such an inspiring place to visit. They are really making a difference to the lives of people and developing and delivering some great projects. Well worth supporting.

We are an Unique, homegrown Ugandan brand making fun quirky accessories. we are a 100% women run organisation and we are working on creating a brand for HOME accessories, KIDs & FASHION. Must see t see how we constantly make new products from locally sourced materials. Creating a sustainable brand!
I stopped in during the Christmas Market, and ended up running out twice to get more cash, everything was so cute! The clothing is very well made, and the designer knows exactly what will look good on your body (I doubted at first but she knows her stuff!). The jewelry is gorgeous and there's also a selection of high-quality natural soaps and skin care products. This is a must-visit!

Gallery Antique Uganda specialises in tribal art sculptures, masks, old bead work and pottery My name is Joe Nixon Ndyanabangi. I have been a dealer of tribal African art and antiquities for 20 years now and specialise in arts from the Congo, Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya and South Sudan but also minimum artifacts from Rwanda and Burundi. The collections accumulated after 15 yrs running three gift shopsand purchasing a lot tribal art and after curating a contemporary art gallery – Tulifanya Gallery – for 12 years and owning three shops in Uganda. After a while I decided to specialise in old, authentic, field-collected pieces which I sell to reputable collectors and international dealers. For those who are curious enthusiasts, collecting or dealers, you are welcome to telephone us to view our humble gallery and showroom on Gayaza Road, eight miles from the city centre of Kampala.
The vibrancy of Kampala plays with all of your senses and, Gallery Antique curated by Joe and his staff, does not disappoint. Joe has masterfully acquired hundreds of authentic antique art pieces from the region and use the entire property to tastefully pepper the compound with artwork. You can find antique shields made of hippos hides, ceremonial masks, head rests, tapestries and many more. Most rewarding and beneficial is the wealth of knowledge and eye for detail which Joe effortless possess, is unparalleled. When in Kampala a visit to Gallery Antique is a must and ask to see Joe’s personal treasures. That’s the cherry on top.

This Cathedral is located on Lubaga Hill and maybe that’s reason it gets a lot of attention from far away. The façade has a small resemblance of Notre-Dame in Paris, albeit the entrance of Rubaga Cathedral has only one. The Cathedral has also a painting of the Ugandan Martyrs. In times of Covid, the Cathedral is doing a great job keeping the social distance.
