Nightlife

During the day, Kampala is alive with business, but when the night falls, it turns into a vampire arena, with ladies of the night taking over on almost every corner.

The culture is now rooted, and it will stay with us for a very long time. Ugandans enjoy going out.

The Bars stay open until morning, and the party continues all over Kampala.

Christian churches (non-denominational) praise God through the night with night prayers that rock the city. As this goes on in Exalting God, there is a party in full blast somewhere else in Kampala city.

Nightlife is both safe and dangerous because bouncers in the bars and clubs and Ugandans, for the most part, are simply friendly and hospitable.

Much as there are those with a purpose for fun, so are those to take advantage of the dark and drunkards.

In the capital city, thugs nick whatever they can for a quick getaway, fading into the dark corridors or crowds.

At most pubs, security is paramount, and a body search without segregation will take place when entering most night Joints.

Without you asking or consulting with your hotel reception, a cab will be the best way of transport out of your hotel to a happening place.

It is safe to ride a taxi (special hire) than a Boda Boda for safety reasons, both life and property.
Going out in a group ensures more safety for you and others. When going out, please remember not to bring your valuables like a passport, a lot of cash, expensive jewellery, cameras, phones, and watches, unless you are sure you are not going to get drunk.

There are yellow taxis, friendship taxis, and safe taxis. You can attain their toll-free line in the Eye magazine.

Simba, There is a couple of casinos in the central part of the town, but my advice is to stay away from them unless you don’t know.

O’Leary’s, Although a very popular club, especially within the white community of Kampala, I didn’t like it much. For my money, it is.
