点评:Visiting the Buganda Kingdom in Kampala was one of those rare experiences that stays with you long after you leave. It wasn’t just a tour; it felt like stepping into the living heartbeat of Ugandan history. From the moment I arrived, there was a sense of reverence in the air, the kind that makes you instinctively lower your voice and open your heart.
What struck me most was how every corner of the Kingdom seemed to breathe stories of power, legacy, and resilience. You could almost hear the echoes of the Kabakas who once ruled, feel the weight of centuries of culture, and see how deeply the traditions still shape the lives of the Baganda people today. It’s not just a historical site; it’s the soul of a nation preserved in its truest form.
And then there was Elvis, our guide. I’ve met many guides across Africa and beyond, but very few who carry history with the kind of grace, depth, and passion he does. Elvis wasn’t reciting facts; he was reliving them. His storytelling had rhythm and soul. He spoke about the Buganda lineage, the political transitions, and the cultural practices with such precision and feeling that you couldn’t help but be moved. His professionalism was impeccable, but it was his sheer love for his heritage that turned the tour into something profound.
By the end, I walked away not only informed but deeply touched. The Buganda Kingdom isn’t just a place you visit; it’s a reminder of identity, continuity, and pride. And with someone like Elvis guiding you through it, you don’t just learn history, you feel it.
If you ever find yourself in Kampala, do yourself a favour: visit the Buganda Kingdom and make sure Elvis is your guide. It’s not just a tour, it’s an awakening.

最令我印象深刻的是,王国的每个角落似乎都蕴藏着力量、传承和韧性的故事。你仿佛能听到曾经统治此地的卡巴卡(国王)的回响,感受到几个世纪以来文化的厚重,并看到这些传统至今仍然深深地影响着布干达人民的生活。这里不仅仅是一处历史遗迹,更是一个民族灵魂最真实、最完整的体现。
还有我们的导游埃尔维斯。我在非洲乃至世界各地都遇到过许多导游,但很少有人能像他那样,以如此优雅、深刻和充满激情的方式讲述历史。埃尔维斯不是在背诵史实,而是在重现历史。他的讲述充满韵律和灵魂。他以精准的语言和饱含深情的语言讲述布干达的血统、政治变迁和文化习俗,令人不禁为之动容。他的专业素养无可挑剔,但真正让这次旅行意义非凡的,是他对自身文化遗产的无比热爱。
旅程结束时,我不仅收获了丰富的知识,更被深深地触动。布干达王国不仅仅是一个旅游胜地,它更是一种身份认同、传承和自豪的象征。而由像埃尔维斯这样的人带领,你不仅能学习历史,更能真切地感受历史。
如果你有机会来到坎帕拉,请务必去布干达王国,并让埃尔维斯担任你的导游。这不仅仅是一次旅行,更是一次心灵的觉醒。
