Igongo Cultural Centre – Celebrate Ankole Heritage

Situated along the Mbarara-Masaka highway is the Igongo Cultural Centre, a museum and cultural site that presents the history of the Ankole people. It showcases traditional tools, royal regalia, and exhibits about daily life in western Uganda. Additionally, the centre features a restaurant that offers local Ankole cuisine such as Eshabwe, millet bread, and grilled beef.

In close proximity, one can visit the Biharwe Eclipse Monument, which commemorates the location where a solar eclipse once halted a tribal conflict. This makes Igongo an excellent stop for travelers journeying to or from Queen Elizabeth National Park and other regions of western Uganda.
