Nightclubs and bars in Uganda

Located at Bujugali falls at Jinja, the Nile river explorers bar is one of the liveliest places in the area! We visited after hearing that 25 Americans were staying and deciding to make a night of it.

The site is just a small bar with a roof, located right next to the Nile (the original launch site for Adrift many years ago) but has great music, a cheap bar and a mini Football table. We spent the evening playing football and really getting to know some of the river guides really well.

The party goes right through the night for those with enough stamina, if you are staying at the Adrift site just get a taxi (Special car hire - about 5,000Ush) there and back.

Dress Code: There is a very strict dress code that as far as I could tell was 'wear whatever you want' and in many cases 'as little as you want'

Ange Noir is a disco located in the old industrial area, which is just 5 minutes by taxi from the area where the most importants hotels are located.

There are two different areas, the normal area and the VIP area, with different entry price. If you pay entry for the VIP you can move anywhere in the disco.

VIP area is located upstairs. It has a small dance floor and several sofas. On the other hand, you have a very big dance floor in the common area, where you can enjoy a wide variery of music.

As in almost all the places in Kampala, you have several TV's for enjoying some football match.

Rhino Bar is located at Sheraton Hotel.

Most of the people going out here, are residents of the hotel (as it was my case). So it is a quite international place.

It is fine for having a drink if you're tired and don't want to go out (if you're a resident in the hotel).

In my case I felt a bit strange dancing in the same place where I had my breakfast every morning...

This is a classic place in Kampala´s nightlife.

It is the place where people go (mainly expats), at the end of the night, for having some drinks while listening or dancing international music.

There are two pool tables, (pool is very popular in Kampala), and two floors.

Most of the place is open-air, so you can here as well enjoy the fantastic weather, and if being till late... see how the sun rises...

This nightclub is located in kabalagala area, an area full of places to go out.

From the street, Kapital seems to be a small and dirty place... but that's a false image, as it is one of the biggest nightclubs in Kampala, and where there are at least 7 pool tables where you can spend all the evening and night playing.

There are several TV screens in it as well, where you can enjoy some football matches. Mainly from the Premier League.

Rock garden is located at Speke Hotel.

There are two areas in it, the restaurant and the nightclub.

The nightclub is partly open-air, so here you can enjoy the fantastic weather that Uganda has.

The music is international, and the place is quite big, althought in the weekends use to be packed.

The bad point, or good for some people, is that when you haven't even had time yet for ordering a drink you have been "welcomed" by several girls. It is quite stressing, as you'll have all the time some girls talking with you asking for drinks and "other" things...

Africans do like their cold beer. Wherever you are you're sure to find a place selling some. One of the places in this photo is bar. I have no idea what it was cold. We were the only customers that night.

Unfortunately I don't have a picture for this one but we stumbled upon this great road in Kampala while ina taxi one night. Great number fo bars one one street. Some serving food and greta music playing all around. This a great place to spend an evening.

Dress Code: Whatever you want.
