Things to do in Mbarara


For a short stop-over there are enough things to do in Mbarara to keep you busy for a few days and most find out a little about the history of Mbarara, the chief town of the old Nkore Kingdom that was later subsumed into an independent Uganda in 1962. You can find out more about Mbarara's history at the Igongo Cultural Centre north of the town or by reading the article on our main Mbarara guide page.


Also enjoy a nature walk along the Rwizi River that flows through the south of the town and maybe spend time relaxing either horse riding, swimming or playing golf. If you know of other things to do in Mbarara please contact us. Oh, there are also some nice African craft shops tucked away where you can get your souvenirs!
