Situated north of Lake George within the Western Region of Uganda, Kasese is the principal town of the Kasese District. With growth originating around Uganda’s largest copper mine of Kilembe, this area is now the largest town in the Rwenzururu region. Known as one of Uganda’s most naturally resourceful areas, Kasese is rich in copper, limestone and cobalt. This energetic town acts as a gateway to the unspoilt landscapes and breathtaking scenery of the majestic Rwenzori Mountains and the Queen Elizabeth National Park, a lush protected area home to over 100 types of mammals and 606 different bird species. Offering something for all, Kasese CBD also boasts both a booming nightlife and a high volume of religious worship centres.
