The Kasubi Tombs site is an outstanding example of traditional Ganda architecture, and an exceptional testimony of the living Ganda traditions. For Uganda, and the East African region as a whole, the site represents an important symbol for the country’s history and culture. The site was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2001.

It is located on Kasubi Hill, five kilometers from Kampala city center, along the Kampala-Hoima Road. When coming from Kampala city center, pass Makerere University and drive down to Nakulabye. At the Nakulabye roundabout, go right onto Hoima Road, drive 1 kilometer and turn left to go up the Kasubi Hill. At the top of the hill, turn left onto Masiro Road and follow it to the entrance of Kasubi Tombs, which is marked by a thatched hut. The trip is approximately 15 minutes from Kampala.
