Tour overview

Perched gracefully on Kikaya Hill, just a few kilometers from Kampala City, the Baha’i Temple of Uganda stands as a symbol of unity, peace, and architectural beauty. Known as the “Mother Temple of Africa,” it is the only Baha’i House of Worship on the entire continent and one of the most serene spiritual landmarks in East Africa.

Built between 1958 and 1961, the temple welcomes visitors of all faiths to experience tranquility, reflection, and harmony amidst breathtaking scenery. Its nine-sided design—a hallmark of Baha’i architecture—symbolizes inclusiveness and unity among all people and religions. The green-tiled dome, visible from miles away, beautifully complements the lush green landscape surrounding the hill.
