Kasese Tourist Attractions


Kasese Tourist Attractions


Lying north of Lake George in the Rwenzururu region, there aren't many tourist attractions in Kasese itself however the town is more a gateway to national parks and the stunning Rwenzori mountains, however that status may change should the local airport be upgraded to full international airport status as planned. (However, those familiar with Uganda know that things rarely progress as planned, with money frequently running out!). Kasese is the largest town in the area, with a population of 810,400, with that population mainly comprised of the Bakonzo, Basongora, Banyabindi, Batooro, and Banyankole Bakiga people. Below we showcase some of Kasese's best tourist attractions, but take time to find out other things to do in the area by checking out our Kasese guide.
