Near the banks of Lake Victoria, Kampala, the capital of Uganda, is a lively city with a long history. Before the British, the city was the capital of the Buganda Kingdom, and remains so to this day. The city sits on several hills, each housing an important government or religious building. Kasubi Hill is the home of the Kasubi Tombs, a sacred burial ground of Buganda Kings. The Uganda Museum sits atop Kololo Hill, and features a hands-on collection of traditional musical instruments.

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.

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.
