Equator Day Trip
Stand on the line at Kayabwe, watch the water-spin demonstration, and take the photo everyone asks about.
And if nobody else books your slot, it runs as a private tour — same price.
Hosted by SteveWalking Kampala since 2018
The line every visitor wants a photo with — plus the parts most tours skip. Two hours southwest of Kampala, you stand in both hemispheres at once and watch the water-spin demonstration at the Kayabwe monument.
Then a 45-minute nature walk through the surrounding farmland — coffee, matooke, grazing cattle — and the roadside craft markets before lunch and the drive back.
Bring a camera and sunscreen. Lunch, entrance fees and transport are all in the price.

What guests say
“Visited many interesting parts of Kampala (3.5h slow walk, lots of shade/roofed areas). Steve is very nice and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend!”
“Steve was a great guide, very friendly and knowledgable. I learned a lot not only about the sites we visited but also about the Ugandan society.”
“Great tour. Steve knew a lot about history and was able to navigate the city well. He was also able to answer all of my questions.”
“Attended a trip with Steve to the Equator. Had such a lovely day and Steve was very informative. An experiment was shown how water goes down plug holes different ways depending which side of the equator you are stood on. Would highly recommended.”
