President Yoweri Museveni is championing the urgent need for a land title for Kagulu Rock, a striking landmark situated 3,600 feet above sea level, to unlock its tourism potential and spur development in the Busoga region. This move is pivotal for advancing tourism in Uganda and capitalizing on the site’s unique appeal.
The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities has already committed Shs2 billion towards constructing staircases to improve access and enhance the visitor experience at Kagulu Rock. However, the development efforts have been impeded by the absence of a formal land title, which is critical for attracting further investment and enabling major projects such as cable cars and road construction from Kamuli to the site.
On Saturday, during the 9th annual Kagulu Rock Climbing Challenge, where more than 70,000 participants gathered to climb alongside Kyabazinga William Gabula Nadiope IV, First Deputy Prime Minister Rebecca Kadaga conveyed President Museveni’s call for the land title. This event underscored the growing interest and potential of Kagulu Rock as a premier tourism destination.
