I prefer the smaller places as well and I have chosen to live in a small town. That being said I do enjoy visiting larger cities just not living there. In addition to the life of a larger city (I really like theatre so maybe I will try to catch a play in kampala) there is also a sense of satisfaction in learning in some small degree how to navigate a new and strange to you city. I also kind of figure that if I am going to see and experience Uganda then much of the life of Uganda is in Kampala given that so many people in Africa and elsewhere are increasingly urban.

Of course if I try it and don't like I can look elsewhere for my experiences of Uganda

Have a great time and do your own thing we are all looking for different things and experiences

If you have not already done so check out the Bradt guide for Uganga it is much much better than LP

You never have to worry about not carrying your phone. We have many trusted Mobile phone outlets (MTN Shops, Nokia outlets, Samsung Outlets ...) You will be able to call the people back home and even surf the Internet.

Kampala its self has a lot to offer, Urban tourism is growing around Kampala, the malls are exciting, the night life is fabulous, safety is guaranteed, the food around town is both local and exotic, you will never be limited on choice.

So many back packers within the city and on the outskirts

You will surely enjoy the City.

Thank you for your encouraging words about Kampala.

I really look forward to visiting Uganda and Kampala. I am interested in the rural Uganda and plan to trek in the Rwenzori but with so many people in Uganda and other countries moving to the cities I think that if I only see the rural areas then I won't have seen Uganda!
