Fare, Issue 9 – Kampala

Fare is a new magazine exploring city culture through food, history, and community.

Fare introduces its readers to a single city and lets its locals do the talking: taking you down backstreets and through forgotten histories, exploring neighbourhoods and local institutions, and doing more than just taste the food on offer. Fare connects armchair travelers with immersive and nuanced stories from cities around the world, and serves as a kind of roadmap for those who are ready to make the actual trip to see things for themselves.

In this issue:

Kampala is Uganda’s lively capital, a city shaped by the traditions of the ancient Buganda kingdom, British imperialism, and the many new migrant groups that now call it home.

In Fare: Kampala:

• Nsenene, the flying delicacy of Uganda’s rainy season

• Buganda history with Joan Nassolo, Princess of one of Uganda’s oldest traditional kingdoms

• The Rolex, the Indian-inspired king of Ugandan street snacks

• A conversation with Kampire, a Kampala-based DJ creating safe spaces for the LGBTQ community

• The story behind kafunda, Kampala’s small grocery stores-turned-bars
