Several interesting facts add to Kasese's unique character. The town sits on the equator, a geographical marker celebrated with a monument that draws curious visitors. The Rwenzori Mountains themselves are a source of constant wonder, their glaciers and snowfields a rare sight so close to the equator, attributed to their immense height. The Kilembe Mines, though less active now, have a rich history and offer insights into the region's geological significance. This blend of natural beauty, historical depth, and cultural dynamism makes Kasese a truly unforgettable destination in the heart of western Uganda. Despite all of this, Kasese is still a small, sleepy town, but one looking forward to the future, being committed to developing renewable energy supplies and improving the health and life outcomes of its residents by challenging deforestation, land degradation and reducing the use of dangerous energy sources such as kerosene.

Probably the best time to visit Kabale and its surrounding area is during the dry season (December to February and June to August) as the weather is typically drier, with sunny days and lower humidity. Best to avoid the wet season (March to May and September to November) as rainfall can be intense, leading to occasional flooding and muddy roads.
