Discover the world’s sweetest pineapples, powerful white-water falls, traditional dances, pottery, and authentic community life in Kayunga.

You will walk through lush pineapple gardens, stand before the roaring white waters of Kalagala Falls, learn traditional pottery skills, dance the energetic Kaddodi and Kiganda rhythms with local people, taste unique pineapple wine, and share a traditional meal cooked over an open fireplace.
