Naggalabi Buddo Coronation Site- Travel Tips

What to See, How to Plan & Tours

Naggalabi Buddo Coronation Site, located on Buddo Hill just 14 kilometers southwest of Kampala, is the historic place where the Kabakas (kings) of Buganda have been crowned for over 700 years. This cultural and historical landmark marks the birthplace of the Buganda Kingdom, with significant sites like the ant-hill where King Kintu defeated Bemba Musota, and the Buganda court tree used in pre-colonial times. The site is not only a place of royal ceremonies, including the recent coronation of Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II in 1993, but also offers insights into Buganda's rich cultural heritage, including traditional music, drama, and crafts.
