Helpfulness
Marabou stork is one of the ugliest bird I have ever seen. The fact is, I am not much found of the birds, except for the falcons and eagels, but this one called Marabou is so ugly. They can be seen all around the town and nobody likes them. Besides ugly look, they make iritating and ugly sound too.

Not exactly a local custom but surprisingly popular in Uganda is going for a sauna.
My favourite place in Kampala is the K. K. Health Cub in Ntinda. Not easy to find unless you know where you are going. If you are coming from Kampala take a taxi to Ntinda and alight when you see the sign. The sign for the place is not so obvious but the sign for "Nob View Hotel" is easier to see (as seen in the photo).

Ugandans are very friendly and courteous. Also life moves at a slower pace. A matatu/bus/shared taxi will depart towards its destination only after it is full. Clearly, patience is of utmost importance in Uganda, especially if you are on budget travel.
Almost everyone in Uganda speaks English. When you go up to a person for any work (eg. asking for directions), it is common to first greet the person by saying "Hello" and shaking hands with him. It is also common to ask how they are doing and waiting for their response. It is after all the pleasantries are completed that the topic of the conversation comes up. It is also common to keep shaking hands during the pleasantries.
