Uganda’s cultural history has made it one of the most visited by tourists. Culture here is rich and dynamic dating from 14th century when the interlucustrine kingdoms were formed. People here are very hospitable and receptive to foreigners. Cultural sites such as Kasubi Tombs , Uganda Museum and Namugongo martyrs shrines have attracted both local and international tourists
Uganda originally had five monarchies; Buganda, Bunyoro, Busoga,Tooro ,Ankole and Rwenzururu, some of whose origin is not known because their early history was not written down. According to these kingdoms human history begins with a first family whose head was Kintu, but whose origin is mythical and not clear.The problems of kingdoms in Uganda started in the early 1960s. At the pre-independence negotiations in London the Buganda kingdom, the biggest and most assertive tribe in Uganda was offered the best deal. They were allowed to have an independent kingdom government and to handle their own financial resources. The privileges were that the Kabaka was above the president of Uganda too.The rest of the kingdoms and other tribes did not take it well. In 1966 the then prime Minister Dr. Milton Obote, ordered his troops to invade the Kabaka in his palace, who fled into exile in the U.K. Obote then declared himself executive president of Uganda and abrogated the five kingdoms and reduced them to a simple administrative districts.Every regime ignored reviving the kingdoms until the N.R.M liberators took power led by Mr. Museveni in1986 that there was great hope for kingdoms.Buganda kingdom, being well organised was the first to have their coronation ceremony with the 36th king to be crowned in 1993. Tooro, Busoga and Bunyoro later followed, while Ankole kingdom is still in dispute. And now its the Rewnzururu kingdom
