Live shows run every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday evening, with opportunities for guests to join in. The peaceful grounds include lush gardens, an open-air stage, and a restaurant serving traditional Ugandan food. Just 20 minutes from central Kampala, the Ndere Cultural Centre is a must-visit for those wanting to explore Uganda’s rich heritage through live performance.
