Greetings
Greetings vary from place to place. But wherever people are, they typically greet others with bright smiles and take the time to ask how they are – whether they know them or not.
One of the common greetings in Central Uganda is "Wasuze otya onno?” This means "How was your night?" The response is usually "Nasuze bulungi", which means "I slept well".
The national sport
Football (soccer) is extremely popular – especially English Premier League teams like Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool. But there’s also a big following for rugby – both local and international.
Traditional dances
There are 56 different tribes in Uganda. Each one has its own unique dance – and accompanying music and song – and these are important symbols of identity.
For instance, the Ekitaguriro is danced by the Banyancore people in the Ankole District to demonstrate their love of cattle.
The Ekizino dance, performed by the Bakiga people from the Kigezi region, was originally performed when the king was going to settle disputes in the kingdom. It’s therefore known as a court dance.
