Uganda's Independence Monument was constructed by former British Colonial Government. The construction of the monument took place even before Uganda was given Independence. The country celebrated its independence on Tuesday 9th October 1962. This beautiful sculpture statue was done by a Kenyan-born artist. This sculpture between Sheraton Kampala Hotel, Grand Imperial Hotel, and Stan-Chart bank has a large inscription of what it signifies, which is quite helpful for visitors to understand its importance. The structure is 40-feet tall depicting a man raising a child and freeing his legs from the bonds of colonization. This monument is a famous tourist spot and can be enjoyed fully if you take part in the city walk tours.
It's just 4.4 km from the city center. Take a boda-boda. It costs around 1200 UGX and takes 12 minutes to reach the destination.
