A visit to Ndere Cultural Centre is a cultural highlight of many visitors’ trips to Uganda. Seated in an open-air amphitheatre, the Ndere Cultural Centre troupe take you on a joyous dancing, singing tour of Uganda’s 56 tribes and their cultures. Music and dance are an integral part of African heritage and no-one gives you better insight than Stephen Rwangyezi, the troupe’s founder. This activity is not to be missed. We recommend the Ugandan buffet dinner of roasted meats, stews, matooke (steamed banana) and more at the center’s restaurant.  (Other menu items also available).
Duration 3 hours
