The Uganda Martyrs Catholic Shrine Basilica in Namugongo commemorates the Ugandan martyrs who were executed for their faith in the late 19th century. As a significant religious site, it attracts pilgrims and tourists alike, especially during the annual Martyrs' Day celebration on June 3rd. The shrine features unique African architecture and a museum showcasing the history of the martyrs. The site is generally accessible, although some areas might present challenges for those with mobility issues. Solo visits are feasible, but a guided tour can enrich the experience with historical and religious context. Expect crowds during peak pilgrimage times. Entrance is typically free, but donations are welcome; budget for transportation and potentially a guide. A typical visit lasts 2-3 hours.
