Buganda Palaces

Buganda Kingdom Palaces

Buganda Kingdom is located in the south-central region of the country known today as Uganda. It is the largest of the traditional kingdoms, the largest Ugandan ethnic group, yet still only consisting of about 17 percent of the population. This is right in the heart of Africa, astride the equator, and at the source of the great river Nile. The people of this kingdom are referred to as Baganda (the singular form is Muganda), their language is referred to as ( Luganda), and they refer to their customs as Kiganda customs. Sometimes the generic term Ganda is used for all the above (especially by foreign scholars). Buganda is home to the nation’s political and commercial capital, Kampala; as well as the country’s main international airport, Entebbe.

Bulange is on Namirembe Hill close to Namirembe Hospital, about 1 mile (1.6 km) northwest of the main gate of Mengo Palace in Kampala, Uganda’s capital and largest city. This is approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) southwest of the city center of Kampala. The coordinates of Bulange are 0°18’35.0″N, 32°33’30.0″E (Latitude:0.309722; Longitude:32.558333). A straight road, approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) long, called Kabaka Anjagala Road (The-King-Loves-Me Road) leads from the main entrance of the Mengo Palace to the entrance of Bulange

Bulange is a building in Uganda. It houses the Lukiiko (Parliament) of the Kingdom of Buganda. The Kabaka of Buganda and the Katikkiro (Prime Minister) of Buganda also maintain offices in the building. The building serves as the administrative headquarters of the Kingdom.
