Info

The main campus of Makerere University is in the Makerere Hill area of the city.

Kampala also hosts the headquarters of the East African Development Bank on Nakasero Hill and the Uganda Local Governments Association on Entebbe Road.

Kampala was originally built on seven hills, but as its size has increased, it has expanded to more hills than seven. The original seven hills are:

1.       The first hill in historical importance is Kasubi Hill, which is where the Kasubi Tombs of the previous Kabaka of Buganda are located.

2.    The second is Mengo Hill where the present Lubiri (Kabaka's Palace) is and the headquarters of the Buganda Court of Justice and of the Lukiiko, Bugand's Parliament (Bulange).

3.    The third is Kibuli Hill, which is home to the Kibuli Mosque.

4.    The fourth is Namirembe Hill, home to the Namirembe Anglican Cathedral.

5.    The fifth is Lubaga Hill, where the Rubaga Catholic Cathedral is.

6.    The sixth is Nsambya Hill, was the headquarters of the Mill Hill Mission. It now houses Nsambya Hospital.

7.   The seventh is Kampala Hill (Old Kampala), where Frederick Lugard, a British mercenary in the pay of the Imperial British East Africa Company, who arrived in Uganda in the 1890s, built his fort on top of the hill.
