Ewaffe Cultural Village
About This Museum
Just off the bustling Kayunga Road in Naggalama, a world away from Kampala's noise, the Ewaffe Cultural Village feels like stepping into a living story. The air is often filled with the rhythmic beat of traditional drums and the earthy scent of smoked bamboo. It’s less a static museum and more a vibrant community hub where elders share folklore under ancient trees and artisans demonstrate crafts passed down through generations. You don't just observe Ugandan culture here; you're invited to sit, listen, and even get your hands dirty learning a skill.
Collection Highlights
The main draws are the immersive experiences: learning to weave a basket from papyrus reeds, grinding millet on a stone, or trying your hand at playing the amadinda (xylophone). Don't miss the energetic storytelling sessions that bring local legends to life.
Visitor Information
It's an easy day trip from Kampala—just head out on the Mukono road. Since it's a working village, it's best to call ahead or check their social media for specific activity schedules to make sure you catch a demonstration.
Architecture & Building
The village is composed of authentic, thatch-roofed huts made from local materials like mud, wood, and reeds, recreating a traditional Buganda homestead.
