You may want to rent a car for your tour trip in Uganda when it is basically all about discovering Uganda culture.

Since Uganda is made up of many tribes, you will come to discover many cultures from different regions of Uganda such as the Baganda who live in Central, Batwa, Banyankole, Bakiga, Batooro, Bahima live in western, Basoga, Bagisu live in eastern plus the Karamajong, Sebei who live in northern.

Besides those tribes, Uganda still consists of many tribes like Iteso, Bagwere, Banyori, Banyoro, Lugbara plus many others therefore your tour trip in Uganda for discovering Ugandan culture will be a wide one where you will come to discover many cultures from various tribes together with their kingdoms/chiefdoms.

Though there are many tribes in Uganda each with its own language, all tribes can afford to speak English as the binding language for all the tribes since it is the official language of Uganda therefore the problem of language barrier between you and them will be at a low rate.

Each tribe has different customs and culture for example the Baganda take bark-cloth as their official clothing to the dead Muganda. If a Muganda dies, they will have to bury him or her in a bark-cloth which is a culture right away from their ancestors.

Still the Baganda have their official dressing codes whereby the Male Baganda should wear Kanzu-robs and the female Baganda put on Gomesi-robs as a sign of representing a real and descent Muganda. These clothing codes are mostly seen during their rituals like introduction ceremonies.

The Baganda have some other rituals including ‘’Okusamira’’, this ritual is mainly practiced as a way of thanking their gods or calling them for seeking blessings from them (gods).

Each Baganda family consist of these gods and some of the gods the Baganda believe in, include; Ddungu, Muwanga, Kiwaluko, Kayizi, Mukasa, Lubowa, Nangoma, Nambaga, Kiwanuka and many more.

These gods are believed by the Baganda to be blessing givers and the act of calling them is called ‘’Okusamira’’ which is done in the shrines (Amasabo) of their clans.

These gods pass through different clan members whereby during the ‘’Okusamira’’ ritual, the gods will have to land or enter to any of the clan member and start talking where the other clan members will greet and seek for blessings from their gods.

The ‘’Okusamira’’ ritual is done while drumming, singing of cultural songs and many other staffs whereby if you don’t drum and sing well, the gods will refuse to come till when you sing and drum hardly.

Still in Buganda when twins are produced, they have a twin ritual they perform for the twins which is locally referred as ‘’Okumala abalongo’’.

This ritual is also full of singing of local twin songs and dancing though this ritual is not recommendable for the young children because the ritual is full of vulgar words since in Buganda, a father and mother to twins are allowed to speak the vulgar words therefore they do the same in the ritual.

The twins in Buganda should have their small basket which is placed somewhere in the house specifically for putting any amount of money affordable for you to put and this act is locally known as ‘’Ebiggali by’alongo’’.

Twins are seen as a gift according to Baganda in that they also act as their small gods because they are also believed to be blessing givers and they can as well punish you if you annoy them or even when you don’t perform their ritual ‘’Okumala abalongo’’.

Twins usually punish through burning any part of your body but mostly they burn the face where your skin will turn to pale pink or you may look like a leopard to have a spotted face.

The Baganda also have the little rituals which are performed by the grown up Baganda youth before going for marriage especially the Baganda youth females who are first guided and counseled how to cater for a man during marriage in that to prevent uncertain interruptions in their marriage and as youth females they have their rituals which they perform together with the assistance of their aunts known as ‘’Okukyalira ensiko’’.

All the Baganda male youths are also guided by their uncles on how a real man should cater and look for his family before they go into marriage and this helps to decrease break ups in marriage.

The Baganda have a kingdom which is headed by a king who is locally known as ‘’Kabaka’’. The ‘’Kabaka’’ has full powers to vote and devote his cabinet such as a prime minister locally known as ‘’Katikiro’’.

The current king (Kabaka) is Ronald Muwenda Mutebi and the current Prime Minister (Katikiro) is Charles Peter Mayiga.

The Baganda have their royal palace locally known as ‘’Olubiri’’ in which the King (Kabaka) lives in and it is found in Mengo near Kampala city.

In the Baganda royal palace you will find there the Buganda Museums (Kasubi tombs) which keep the fossils and remains of the fallen Kings.

The Basoga also nearly perform almost the same rituals that the Baganda perform though their languages differ slightly but they can be able to communicate to each other.

However, the Basoga have a chiefdom headed by a ‘’Kyabazinga’’ who is currently called Wilberforce Nadiope. Unlike the Baganda, the Basoga are found in Jinja (eastern Uganda).

The Bagisu is another interesting tribe in Uganda which one will enjoy his tour trip with. They are found in Mbale (eastern Uganda) and they are most known for their fierce ritual that they perform every even numbered year.

The Bagisu culture is quite different from many other cultures in Uganda whereby the male youths and all males in Bugisu have to be circumcised which is done using a very sharp knife.

This ritual of circumcising the male Bagisu is locally known as ‘’Imbalu’’ where the male who is to be circumcised will first dance all over the nearby villages while getting gifts from the fellow Bagisu and the other well wishers as a sign of congratulating him to be a brave person who obeys his customs and culture.

The to-be circumcised male will first have to dance all over the nearby villages for 3 to 5 days before his circumcision and later he will be put in public for the Imbalu ritual.

Through this ritual, the Bagisu males achieve many gifts and it is absolutely one of the reasons as to why they get inspired to obey their culture because it is not simple as such.

The Batwa tribe is one of the mostly adventured tribe in Uganda. These Batwa people are found in one of Uganda’s national parks such as Mgahinga Gorilla National Park.

These people are too dark skinned like carbon and charcoal and they impress many tourists who make it to their community through their local songs which they tend to sing for the tourists plus their ridiculous and impressing dances.

The Karamajong who live in northern Uganda close to Kidepo Valley National Park is another tribe which one would enjoy their culture.

These people tend to pin big holes in their ears and years back these people never used to put on clothes rather they would cover only their private parts but due to the changing community.

They have now learnt how to wear clothes though their dressing code is also impressive and amazing because it totally differs from the usual dressing we know. They are traditionally cattle keepers and hunters.
