Kampala’s food scene comes into its own in the evening. Over four hours, you'll explore the stops and dishes beloved by locals from street stalls, roadside grills, and local eateries where people gather in the evening.
With 12+ tastings across multiple stops, you’ll move from quick street favourites like Rolex and grilled skewers to more substantial dishes such as groundnut stews and traditional preparations like goat luwombo.
The neighbourhoods themselves are key. Wandegeya and Nakasero are busy, local areas, and visiting them with a knowledgeable guide helps you navigate where to go, what to order, and how these spots fit into daily life.
This isn’t about fine dining, it’s an authentic look at Kampala’s food scene through the eye’s of a local tastemaker.

Our Kampala food tour offers guests a culinary experience carefully curated food adventure, led by our team of Kampala tastemakers. Before we get started, our tour reflects the local cuisine, and the limitations of street food vendors and local eateries mean we cannot cater for every dietary restriction. Here's an honest appraisal for the tour, so no-one is disappointed: ✘ Unsuitable for vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, or halal diets as the tastings would be very limited. ✔ Gluten and lactose intolerance, mild peanut allergies, no pork diets and no seafood diets are possible though some tastings do not have alternatives available and the menu would be more limited.
