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.
