Kibuli Mosque is located on Kibuli Hill which is about 1km from the city centre. It is the oldest mosque in Kampala and surrounded by the serenity of the palm trees.
Prince Badru Kakungulu, a member of the Buganda Royal Family owned most of the hill, before he donated it to the Ugandan Moslem community. That land today houses the Kibuli Mosque, Kibuli Secondary School, Kibuli Hospital and Kibuli Teacher Training College.
The hill also accommodates a police training school and a teacher training college. At the base of the hill, on the eastern side of Kibuli, is the neighbourhood called Namuwongo, the location of the old Industrial Area of the city and the oil depots of three major oil companies.
