My first 24 hours in Kampala, Uganda were fun & chaotic!! I randomly left Johannesburg, South Africa and flew to Kampala Uganda on a whim. Come with me as I explore Uganda!!!

That's awesome Julian 😫❤️ I wish you all the best and travel safe.
Thank so much friend
I always complain about the traffic and disorder in Johannesburg CBD but this right here in Kampala has killed me!!! I wouldn't survive 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Yoh!
i was soooo shocked!! everyday?! like how?!! lol
Yup its crazy . Its a stampede of wild motor bikes and crazy taxi men, and theives feeling up your kabina and bags to snatch u up.🤣🤣🤣.. itll keep you in shape and on ya toes. 🤣..thats why not too many fat people in uganda. There always on the go watching out 🤣
I've been to alot of chaotic bodaboda cities in Africa but nothing beats the Kampala boda boda experience.
I went to high school in Uganda. I always dreaded commuting to school because it would take forever
@@daddyjasonssepuya4991 I went to school there and i saw plenty of obese people
Wow Uganda seems very busy, enjoy your stay.
Haha I see you don’t call crocodile alligators anymore. Welcome to Africa 😊
I have never been abroad but through you I've seen Africa. 💖
I know I will get the chance to see all this places one day. ❣️
Yeyyyyy.... Happy you're in my country. Good you reached safe. Just continue to take care of yourself and enjoy!!!.
And the Queen's way, minute 15.55, that's my daily life to and from work every single day as they work to put a fly over in that place. You're lucky your device survived lol, thieves are sharp in areas with traffic as they use it to rob people esp phones and car parts like side mirrors, etc.
But overall Uganda is beautiful as long as you're out of the CBD. Hope you enjoyed your stay
The lashes joke tho 🤣🤣...Julian always coming with the best traveling content❤️
😂😂😂😂
Welcome to the Pearl of Africa
You are so daring. You can never get me on a boda😂 The long eyelashes is so hilarious 😂
My place of birth…. My heart bursting with pride. ✊🏾🙏🏾🔥
3 countries in East Africa he visited and one country in Southern Africa.
Still inspiring, still innovative and still absolutely amazing.. Keep doing you and watch God keep blessing everything you touch. #passport coming soon 🔜 Loving you living your Truth and Dreams!!!
Wow it looks amazing there. I just can’t be around that many people. 😮I love your content ❤
I love Kampala with all its frills, its quite an experience. Enjoy Julian😁💛
Glad to see you Julian you had an exactly motorcycle driver in the city center of kampala
😍🤣🤣🤷♂️ I thought nairobi was chaotic with traffic Kampala is on another level
What he showed must have been off peak 😂😂😂😂
Kampala -We lead, others follow😎
All this time just wondering how you kept your phone from being taken
I have now seen the reason why Muhoozi wants to capture Nairobi city and why he doesn't want to stay in Kampala town.Ugandans no offense here 😅😅
😂
Mpaka alisema ataishi riverside 😂
He definitely was joking lol.🖐
I was looking for this comment 😂🤣😂😂🤣🤸♀️🏃♀️🤣😂🤣
The swahili😂😂😂😂 I'm laughing
As a local Ugandan, theres no need to learn kiswahili, most of us speak english, rarely or never use kiswahili
Rather you should have learnt Luganda the local language mostly spoken in kampala
Enjoy Uganda, their humour is top notch ❣️
Hahaaaa ug olemwa
Yooo that traffic,Joburg is much better.i won't survive there🤣🤣🤣
🇺🇬 🎉🎉 proud of you, no longer listen to the opinions of people who have never left thier comfort zone, am here for the journey ❤
Thank you! I learned to stopped listening to others long ago 🙏🏽
@@JulianAlbino you better ,look at you now a global citizen, you rocking the Madiba T-shirt mzansi representing I see you , keep them videos coming ❤️💯
That's the kind of attitude we like!
@@JulianAlbino Oh they're making you do the mouth swab now instead of the nose ewwww thats a little bit better brother
Nostalgic. Lived in Kampala for 3 years. It's incredible nightlife erases the torture of day-time traffic. Outside Kampala is unspoiled and refreshing vegetation. Uganda is endowed.
❤️
💙💚
Are you sure?
❤
The one place where people live and let live.
The "roundabout" with sculpted "traditional drums" you pointed at is located in Mengo, it's called "Kabaka taweta" which translates "The King never turns", it has a direct route through, specifically for him(the king of Buganda-the Central part of the country) whereas other people go round it as its meant to be. The route traditionally moves direct from the King's main palace of Mengo to the Kingdom courts.
Look at my name.
@@MichaelMengo wow😊😊that's interesting, where do you come from?
Okay, I know I haven't been in Uganda in over 6 years but a lot has changed. Those flyovers that are being built 😱😱. Like when did it start? And also that was a good payday for the boda boda guy. 50K. I definitely do not miss the traffic and commotion in Kikubo lol
@@ayesigabright3760 I am your neighbour in Kenya
@@MichaelMengo that's wonderful brother👌
I love how you say "petrol " you're South African for sure🎉🤣
Nope, he's Ugandan. We also say petro here🙄🤣
You can't claim Julian as an African, sorry. He's an American, WE claim him He is touring Africa, he's not from there.
@@VibeWithVida stop with your negativity who doesn't know he's American? Anyways by nationality yes but fact that he's black 🖤 we can claim him oya shooopp...move over and continue staying in that racist country you not wanted over there and Europe constantly killed and told to go back to Africa shathaaap!
Im Ugandan and I absolutely dread going to DT Kampala. It's absolute chaos. The last I was there was 2020. All in all I wouldn't live anywhere else in the world. Love UG 🇺🇬
Albino am so proud ur in Uganda. Places to hit in kla
1. BUGOLOBI (Its a strip within KLa where the night life is fiiiiire, especially now that we heading into the weekend)Best time to go Friday evening to Sunday until late
2). acacia avenue, acacia mall for food
Outside of Kla u can hit jinja eastern ug for water rafting, binj jumping, tour of the Nile, boat cruise on the Nile
West of ug u can tour Murchison falls, chimpanzees, Mt gorilla's
All in all thanks for not listening to the negative media and going out there to tour mama Africa
Thanks so much!
But be careful not every one putting on good is good not all boda men are good be careful about thieves .some don't drive well. Don't just be friend every thing Julie nice stay
Where's your mama?
African countries handle pandemics and scary outbreaks much better than the western countries. They contain these outbreaks very good and isolate quick. Within no time the outbreak never affect the larger population. You will be fine.
There's no airport in Kampala 😅...... The only airport we have in Uganda is the one you landed at: Entebbe International Airport. The place is called Entebbe, not Kampala. And again, most Ugandans don't speak kiswahili. That's for most Kenyans and Tanzanians. In Uganda you'll be good to go around with English. Because we have more than 23 local languages
Thanks for watching😘
We actually have more than 40 languages
My mum always complains about the traffic in Kampala, I have never been there even though my parents are Ugandan, I will be visiting this december, this gave me a glimpse of Uganda, thank you Julian and I can't wait for more videos 💜💛💚
Let’s go together I’m trying to visit this December as well
@@427daison 😋☺
@@belrukwira 😉😉
I’m going in December too I was just in Uganda in July !! The traffic is wild the boda boda’s are like flies but it’s a nice get away you should visit Latitude 0 degrees hotel it’s so beautiful

I am Ugandan and even I can’t go to those chaotic places you went to.😊 You are so lucky that you made it back from Kampala town with your camera/phone.😅 Glad to see you here in our beautiful country.🇺🇬 Enjoy!
I was looking for this comment. Like how did he make it back? lol
A tourist is always safe in Uganda when you move around with a professional tour guide
🤣
Indeed he luckily has made it with his gadgets safe
Where's the lie
OMG IM SUPER HYPED TO VIEW ALL YOUR VIDEOS OF UGANDA 🇺🇬!! I honestly think you’d make great friends with Ethan Kavuma. Your personalities are SOOOO similar and he knows all the great places to hang in Kampala 😊
Yay I’m also going to Uganda in December!I needed this vlog 💃🏼
Vibez!!!!
Please add Jinja (source of the Nile) to your bucket list,

Elsie you're most welcome! I hope you enjoy your stay.
If we could nominate citizenship I would nominate for you to get your South African citizenship 😅
The monument at 18:09 is of a long drum ‘engalabi’ split in half with
Buganda Kingdom regalia in the middle.
It sits on the Royal Mile road (‘Kabaka Anjagala’) from the Royal Palace of Buganda to the Buganda Parliament.
The junction is known as ‘Kabaka Nantawetwa’ meaning the King doesn’t go around. It’s only the king of Buganda who goes thru it from his palace to his parliament.
Was looking for this comment.
Loved Ugandan chicken and pork. Added weight. Can't wait to visit.
Kampala nightlife is like everyday. 5pm to 5am
The boda guy took you to downtown kampala its always chaotic and the business and hustle part ...visit uptown ..like kololo, nakasero, lugogo its more organised with modern malls like acacia mall and fancy resturants and you should try the night life ...in kampala around kisementi area its the best in the region ...visit jinja , munyonyo speke resort and western Uganda ..uganda is very diverse otherwise enjoy your stay karibu UG
This guy's a fool all he is looking for is the bad side of a country ..did you show the homeless in America ..do you show how many homeless people in California ?.10,000s..but in Uganda though it's chaotic ..we have few homeless
@@babsinnocent6287 don't be emotional. He asked to be taken to where chaos is. That's where the thrill & authentic adventure is, for Travellers dear. Downtown kampala is literally a heartbeat.
I like your Nelson Mandela t-shirt. Also do show us some Uganda food/cuisine while you are there.
Greetings from a fellow Ugandan. Make sure you take jackfruit and visit Kisoro.
the wooden like structure split by a shield and spears is a traditional drum of the Baganda ppl called "Engalabi"
Enjoy Uganda and please be safe! The country is really beautiful and I'm happy that you're learning Swahili 😊❤
Thank you 🙏🏽
@@JulianAlbino Ugandans don't speak swahili
@@teresiawachira1034 Wewe umeishi huko gishagi ata kiswahili hujui unadhani kila mtu hajui, Tembea EA hadi Waburundi, DRC wanaongea kiswahili
@@sshem Ugandans don't speak Swahili. You go to Rwanda and Burundi and you'll find more Swahili speakers than Uganda.
The reason why ugandans don't speak Swahili is because they associate to military soildiers in those days of wars. During the time the soilders used to stage road blocks and rob pple while speaking in swahili
Every year I go to Kampala and am
American 🇺🇸 I love it
Juli your basaack, miss you, glad to no your in Uganda it is a great country. I know you like to let your hair down and impress from time to time but remember though while Kampala is more tolerant than the rest of the country it's not South Africa where you can be yourself. They could mess you up.
The title is so hilarious😂😂😂 It had to be Uganda!!!
😂
Uganda gifted by nature... The best comfort zone I have ever known in this planet earth.
Chaos meter: Jo'burg is mild, Nairobi's moderate, Kampala's seriously hectic...and Lagos is extreme. Shout-out to all those cities.
I think Nairobi is more chaotic than kampala
@@oraach Nope!
Word? Lagos is more chaotic than this?
@@oraach you clearly have never been to Nairobi, there is organised traffic and then there is this.
@@davidcornel2060 If you say so.... I live in Muchatha and I don't love going to the city... There is no spot in Kampala that Compares to that area between river road and the offshoots to kirinyaga Road and Yom Mboya..... Am I wrong? Oh I live in kampala too... And I don't like noth cities...😀😀😀😀
Julian that’s the Buganda King’s palace round about. It leads you to the palace itself!
I would've never guessed you were going to Uganda next. Enjoy ❤️
They say if you can drive in Kampala, then you can drive anywhere in the world😂
Exactly.I have been in KLA almost five months I said I will never try to drive bcz of the boda boda 😂
This is very true
😂😂😂😂😂
So, am a super driver? Always foot on the breaks. Boda boda can bump into you from any corner, any time.
OMG can't believe you are in my country right now, enjoy your adventure
How did i not know about you😂😂 Julian your a vibe...just bumped into this channel and damn i love it..its nice having you here in Uganda but fyi the Kampala night life is amazing it kinda makes you forget about the day chaos😂😂 enjoy your stay.
Thank you!
Welcome to Uganda 🇺🇬. Hope you enjoy your stay here 🙂 Uganda is so friendly and welcoming.
Hope you learn some Luganda too🙂
One of the most un-gay-friendly places in the world. Not for me
I’m having a blast
Uganda is the best place to have fun, let's see part two, I wish I could be there right now
I'M UGANDAN AND GAY. let him enjoy his trip please. His aware of the situation
Yooh 😳 that traffic, crocodiles in the city. Very rough
It was lot going on!!
Crocodiles in the lake not city silly 😂that happens to be located not far from the city
@@africanglobalnomad and where's the lake situated smart pants?
@@molefemokhine9557 bro why o le so mara?😂
@@palesamogorosi8939 ke entseng nou Palesa bathong? 🤷🏾♂️
Greeting from NYC, that city is full of fun, definitely u gonna have a blast.
Can you do a video on what to know or have before moving from the states to SA? Love your videos !
In addition you can follow Asad el Malik
Girl you need to checkout other black Americans who lives in SA like TheRealSouthAfrica(Couple from US) Mansa Mane,Asad el Malik and his wife Adrienne
I would love to experience such chais for a SHORT while, cos my country (Namibia🇳🇦) is literally empty.
It's actually amazing there. Alot of Namibians are studying there. And the food is amazing. Yes 264 is very empty especially Windhoek in the suburbs.
Accurate
I watched a video about Windhoek & I thought it was a ghost city. Where was everyone?? 🤔 do the women hate giving birth??
I was shocked to learn in a TH-cam video I watched recently Namibia is not even 3M population yet. Chaos can't thrive over there but must be quite lonely in the country side.
Just ask the tourist's to visit Windhoek.
That Nelson Mandela t-shirt is popping,Uganda looks interesting.
🙏🏽
That's called "Kabaka anjagala" in luganda meaning "King loves me"....its the gateway for the king of Buganda coming from his Lubiri(Palace) to his office or the lukiko (legislative) without going around the round about. And that lake is the Kabakas lake (it is man made and I don't think it has crocodiles.
Wow this is awesome Welcome to my country Uganda .the night life in Uganda is unmatched you should hang out in places like Kush ,,Thrones ..And places in Kololo too
😂😂I'm here as a kenyan to see the real reason why Muhonzi want to capture Nairobi and live in it😂😂😂😂Why can't he be satisfied with Kampala town😂😂😂😂😂
You didn't just say that 🤣🤣🤣
Town?? 😂😂😂 vayolence
I don’t think it’s appropriate to bring up politics in videos that has nothing to do with politics. Our fight between us (Kenyans & Uganda) let’s keep it between ourselves.
Kampala is a city not town bruh but in Kenya it won't pass for a city😅😅🙌
Because our nirobary brothers and sisters need good food...silly😏
Guys I'm sure he knows, it's fine.. Please stop with the be safe be safe comments.. You gonna make him uncomfortable, I'm sure his well aware of the countries he goes to, so he knows how to operate.. Maybe read comments first before you add your own be safe, if you see one.. Reserve your own. I'm just thinking for him, it must be irritated. He knows.
‼️
@@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298 okay sisi. calm down. you seem to be especially triggered by people being concerned for Julians safety. it's weird, you're in each and every comment.... yehlisa umoya. Julian was attacked not too long ago for his sexuality so we're obviously looking out for him.
calm down.
@@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298 So you couldn't address the part where he said Julian was attacked? in Rwanda to be specific, a country with similar culture, history and laws to Uganda
@@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298 I'm Kenyan and I always see you in the comments spitting that truth and calling things for what they are! You're a real one! 👏🏿❤🔥
We're Americans, we are unafraid. Period.
Your actually lucky your phone dint get snatched 😂
Please try Tanzania after Uganda. It's a wonderful country
Tanzania my country ...asante
Julian 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇺🇸🇺🇸We completely understand that you left South Africa 🇿🇦 but hope you come back soon 🔜 miss you already much love 💕😘
I like this guy that he does not go by media stupidity. Otherwise he wouldn’t have stepped in Kampala due to the Uganda stance of gat rights and the recent Ebola outbreak. There is alot more than what the media says
So true
1 hour and that guy charged you 50k,he played but anyways They don't swim in the lake cause it's the kabaka's lake, a man made lake.
Haha this brings back the memories. Uganda has lots of motorbikes it’s chaotic lol
Hey Julian, thanks for visiting our Country and touring downtown. That place you asked someone to mention if they know its name- Place is called Mengo, Kabaka anjagala road. The two big pillars are only used by the king of Buganda while using that road, He doesn’t go around the roundabout
At around 18:29, that's Kabaka's round about, so that's a local drum statue, divided into two, to make way for the king (kabaka) to pass through when he travels. It's always closed for anyone else but the King of buganda (a central kingdom)
Wow!
The president of Uganda is jealous of the adoration the Kabaka has.he wishes to be the King
@@lutaayam just know
I’m so excited watching you in Kampala!
I love the chaos!😍
Organized chaos hahahahaa Julian is funny🤣🤣
Your a real explorer, its very cool to watch 👌🏾
Be careful in Uganda, it's really not LGBT friendly
This is a complete lie.
it depends where you are!
Some are some are not. Like everywhere else. I am Ugandan and I am not. And btw there are gay Ugandans…… like bruh
True that...
Why are you Gae? That is a famous Uganda clip
Hi Julia enjoy your stay in kampala.. keep on dropping those content.
Thank you! Will do!
Omg super exciting!!!! Enjoy the food. And try and see the showcasing of traditional dancing. Enjoy yourself. It's beautiful there.
At the Ndere Troup Center in Ntinda
When I thought Nairobi city was chaotic even with zero bodaboda around cbd, kampala town/center seems to take the cake, must be suffocating over there 😭
@@cakebeastlady so what's your grouse?
@@cakebeastlady Yeah.Have no grouse against your country.Visit other countries cities & you will find are much worse, friend.
I'm mad.... way toooo long between now and your last post. But this was worth the wait!! 😂😂😂 So amazing you riding through that city. Thank you so much for sharing. Be safe.
Kenya with love🇰🇪
I'm excited for you man. Have awesome fun and keep us posted. 📫 1Luv. -Ron
#solotraveler
Thanks Ron 🙏🏽
You should stay in Entebbe. No traffic, low population and a high foreign population. You would like it here. I hardly go to Kampala for anything and if it's urgent, i shop online.😅 Hope you enjoy your stay.😊 You don't have to struggle to learn Swahili to communicate in Uganda. It isn't used anywhere.
It's used by police 😞
Why should one visit a country to keep around with other foreign people instead of locals?it doesn't make sense lol and Swahili is the second national language in Uganda,it's state language which is used in military as mandatory and police prison and most spoken in northern and eastern Uganda ,West Nile and some parts of western uganda bordering DRC Congo, Tanzania
There are 1 million bicycles in Beijing....and a million motorcycles in Kampala 😳
Be careful of Uganda's anti-gay laws. Good luck Julian. It's not the most progressive country.
IM UGANDAN AND GAY. unless his has sex with a guy in the middle of the road he will be fine.
Just wondering how you managed with that phone. Am aUgandan but can't pass some places with my phone like that.
😂 I was on high alert
Am living my travelling dreams through you🤣🤣and this is very fun and therapeutic to watch
Thank you!!
I agree😅😅
Eish. My story
Whew! Kampala, Uganda looks like a wild trip. Love the rolling green hills.
I missed you by just a few days Juliano ☺😄
Was there just last week
Omg 😭
Hi Julian.. visit western Uganda 🇺🇬 too! A city called Mbarara❤
Julian nice to see around watching from Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪
be careful in Uganda. They are not very LGBT friendly
Wu told you they are not friendly
Eish
@@kisakyeharriet9923 we know they have the laws which prohibits the practice of LGBAT+ in that country, infact 90% of countries in Africa doesn't tolerate Gays Lesbians
here we go again 😭🥹 y’all let me enjoy please friends 🙏🏽
Guys please stop instilling fear in people, Julian has done his research and he's happy. Just let him be. Even I am starting to get annoyed with this whole, "be careful, oh it's not safe, oh it's not friendly" stop it, it's annoying yeerrrr!
Let me not say much
😂
Where have you been bro?
@@palesamogorosi8939 Eish, busy with work
Other TH-camrs in Uganda rn are Sabbatical and Miss Josey. They're both cool
Sabbatical ain't Uganda and he is not in Uganda at the moment
Yayyy..You're very welcome to Uganda. Happy to have you🙂
Would you Visit Uganda? 👀
*Yes! Kampala looks looks like an exciting city...!!! Glad to see you're still exploring new places in Africa...!!!* 👍
If there more relaxing area I will definitely consider. The weather looks great. I've been in Zimbabwe & Zambia loved it.
Welcome to Kampala 🥰🥰🥰my hometown
Never i rather visit Nigeria
That thing u saw, is where the king of Buganda drives through. That’s to prevent him from staying in jam for a long time
I hope that was 50,000UGX and not 50USD😭
it's like $13.5
Kampala is dangerous, I was so nervous for your phone 🤳😅😅, just be careful. Don't expose gadgets like that again in the city centre. Your out here having me sweating 😅😅
That's great, keep doing what your doing. I am Ugandan here in Uganda. 🤗🤗
