The Tomb of Subi, also known as the Tomb of the Buganda Kingdom, is a world cultural heritage. It is said to be the largest thatched mausoleum in Africa, built in the same way as the traditional reed bark houses of the local Buganda people. In 2001, the original thatched mausoleum was destroyed by an inexplicable fire, and now tourists can only watch around the surrounding auxiliary buildings during the visit. It is far from the city, and you need to take a motorcycle to get there.Kampala · 3.6km from downtown

It is the tomb of a famous local figure. It is built very simply, but it is indeed extraordinary.

Kampala, a country in eastern Africa, has a low economy, low income, natural food, and does not discriminate against Chinese people. You can go there, but you must be careful of government officials who treat Chinese people as money. Don't give original passports, etc. If you have any problems, you can spend a little money.

博物馆感觉藏品不是很多,但还是比较有特色!还是值得一去!室外有乌干达不同地区特点的圆形茅草屋,很有特点!如果有时间,出博物馆应该向西南方向有一所著名的大学麦克雷雷大学(Makerere University)据说是非洲最古老、最负盛名的英语大学之一。风景不错,这里还有麦大孔子学院,建议顺路去一下!
