SUMMARY:7 Hills Walk
DESCRIPTION:The Historical walk is back! \n\nLegend has it that Kampala\, like Rome\, is a city that was built on seven hills. The city derives its name Kampala for the Luganda work “Kasozi ka Mpala” which means a Hill of many Impala. The Kampala of today comprises of 21 hills\, but a walk through the 7 Hills will give you the opportunity to explore the genesis of the present day city.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe 7 hills are; Nsambya\, Kibuli\, Nakasero\, Old Kampala\, Namirembe\, Lubaga\, Lubiri. A route between the hills along paths and feeder road takes approx 5-6 hours.\n\n\nThe walk will be led by Deo Lubega. The start and finish point will be the Moonland Gardens on Nsambya-Gaba Road (a safe place to park with a small charge). You can contact Deo and sign up at 0708114682 or at 0775632304.\n\nThe walk will start at 8 o clock on Tuesday the 9th of Oct SHARP!

We slowly cruise alongside the rainforest as we prepare your lunch. Our lunch is a pretty unique experience in itself. You get to choose your own ingredients and mix and match them with different sauces. We will then cook your food in front of you whilst floating on Lake Victoria.

Our wooden boat is made from timber from The Mvule tree (which is commonly found in Uganda). This hardwood timber was used to make the keel and the supporting frame of this boat as it is strong and durable. The hull of the boat is made from the Makebu tree which is found in Sothern Sudan and Congo. It is a strong but lighter hardwood. It is used as it has a long life span especially when submerged in water. This beautiful boat is named Kaya\, in tribute to a very good friend and beautiful person who sailed away to a new adventure\, on the undiscovered shores of the sky. \n  \nFor details and registration contact Lorna at pascqalorna@gmail.com or info@mcu.ug \n
