Ntungamo Tourist Attractions

Ntungamo is located in the Ankole sub-region of Uganda, which is known for its long-horned cattle. It is the largest town in Ntungamo District and the site of the district headquarters, with a population estimated to be 38,800, with an average annual growth rate of 1.9%.

Ntungamo isn't best known for its tourist attractions having none itself, however it is an ideal base from which to explore such attractions in Western Uganda given its central location and it's within easy reach of local lakes and museums as well as a great base for undertaking safaris in nearby Queen Elizabeth National Park as well as chimpanzee and gorilla trekking further afield. Tourists will also be able to travel to Tanzania and Rwanda from Ntungamo as the road network is now well developed, and regular buses run at very low cost compared with Western countries. Below are some of Ntungamo's best tourist attractions.
