As of 2024 the main building is still under renovation. You arrive in the busy area of Kampala to be taken to a mandatory guide who explains mostly well until you get to the main building. I wasn't really impressed and I find 4 generations of kings hardly an impressive feat in the world. It is mildly interesting to hear how cultures works around here but no way would I recommend it. In fact after the first building, the drum building and the view from the large center one is taken around graveyards and SLUMS that are actually housing of the king's wives. They live here as long as they alive, taking on new hubbies and getting knocked up by permission sought in the main building (don't really want to know the details) and if they die the family she has aren't accepted as royal so they should get lost. I'm not sure this is really how it's working out as they are way too many houses in the area. In retrospect I could have done with a 10 minute tour and exit. Needing to see the king's escape route and walk back to the parking lot through external slums wasn't nice.

I would give it a lower score but the pictures from the main building look good so I think that would be worth seeing. Women also need to wear some sort of scarf to cover up my clothes not that I was wearing anything revealing. I was also not really supposed to enter the drum house but they don't follow that "rule" anymore.

Would have skipped Kampala altogether if not for this site which wastes a lot of time just getting in and out of town. One the of the worst sites I have been in a long time.
