Mubende District is located in central Uganda. It borders the districts of Wakiso and Luwero to the East, Mpigi, and Sembabule to the South, Kyenjojo to the West, and Kibaale and Kiboga to the North. Mubende is approximately 172 kilometres (107 mi), by road, west of Kampala, the capital of Uganda and its largest city.
Some of the tourists attractions in this region include:

• Magonga Shrine
  The shrines may be found at Nnono Village, Maganga Parish, Malangala Sub-County, which is 120 kilometers away from Mubende. It is thought that Kintu, the first King of the Ganda tribe, was interred in the shrine. The site comprises a tile-roofed house where Kintu’s grave is found and other graves. Near the shrine is a forest where the dead Kings are believed to disappear when they die.

• Lake Wamala
  
  Lake Wamala is said to have been born. The lake is found in Busimbi Sub-County. It is of cultural significance to the Ganda tribe who link its origin to the existence of the first King. The sitatunga is one of the animals and birds that may be found in its wetlands (“enjobe” in Luganda). For the Buganda people of Central Uganda, the lake has significant traditional and cultural value.
  The districts of Mubende, Mityana, and Gomba in the Ugandan Buganda Region all share the lake.
  An area of about 250 square kilometers is occupied by Lake Wamala (97 sq mi). Numerous islands, including Lwanju Island, Mabo Island, Bagwe Island, Kiraza, and Kazinga, among others, are scattered throughout.
  Near the lake are several different animal species, including sitatunga, wild pigs, hippopotamus, bushbuck, waterbuck, vervet monkey, baboon, guinea fowl, and turaco. Lungfish, catfish, and tilapia are some of the existing fish species.

• Tanda Pits
  
  Tanda Pits are located 8 kilometers to Mityana town, 92 kilometers from Mubende, and 3 kilometers off the Kampala-Mubende highway. The legendary stories explain their existence on one Walumbe (“Death”) who is said to have been the sister to the wife (Nambi) of the first Ganda to live on earth from heaven. The pits were created as Walumbe kept escaping from a brother (Kayikuzi) who had come to return him to heaven. Kayikuzi dug the pits in an effort to capture Walumbe who is believed to have disappeared underground and remained on earth and began the death of people on earth.
  The pits whose bottom cannot be seen with naked eyes currently number about 266. Some unknown number of pits were earlier filled to provide land for cultivation and 20 of the currently existing ones have been tampered with since the Department of Museums and Antiquities ceased to assume the caretaking role.
  Most magnificent about the pits is their similarity in size and precise equality in diameter.

• Mubende Forest Reserve
  The Mubende-Kyenjojo road runs through a natural tropical forest reserve that is more than 50 kilometers long. 
  Primates and many different species of birds are among the forest’s wildlife. Social civilization, particularly the construction of the roadway and villages, has been encroached upon by the forest.

• Muyinayina and Butorogo Rocks
  In Kasambya Sub-County, 20 kilometers from the town of Mubende, are the Muyinayina and Butorogo rocks.
  According to legend, the Kings of Bunyoro used to play the Drafts on the Muyinayina rocks (Mweso). The holes that the Draftsmen excavated in the rocks are still clearly evident.
  Although the Butorogo rocks have no special cultural significance, they do offer a beautiful panorama of the environs. Locals and international non-residents who work in the area frequently camp out on the rocks.

• River Katalanga
  Uganda’s Katalanga River is situated 140 kilometers west of Kampala, the nation’s capital, in the Mubende District. The watershed of the Nile River is part of Katalanga.
