What do you think of Bugologbi flats?
I was surprised that they're 64 years but still beautiful and well kept!

Those flats were high end back in the day like the brown/white flats of kamwokya. I went to school with children of civil servants most of them residing in them.
@defiant1716 my aunt and uncle still live there, I used to visit and stay with them, but the theft was terrible. People would literally steal your bed covers from your bed. They would use a long wire and pull the bed cover. I still gwt shocked remembering that.
@@Flourish_todaythat’s why the security their is tight today I guess. I felt very safe in their!
@@Flourish_today I lived there for 3yrs between 2003& 2006 on Block21 and 18 and thieves came in twice while we where in flat during day time, very traumatizing.
I am from Comoros🇰🇲 i’ve been in Uganda for 8 years I never feel myself comfortable anywhere in this planet when he’s not Uganda I’m coming soon and I will spend my whole life
Thank you for your Vlog about Bugolobi. Bugolobi was my home in the 80's and 90's seeing this Vlog brings back a lot of wonderful memories! A lot has changed and I can't wait to go back and explore after 24 years away. Now I know what to expect......
Glad you enjoyed it 🤗

I love love bugolobi. Cant live anywhere else. Its so beautiful
The Bungalows neighborhood of Bugolobi is leafy, vegetative and scenic
I used to go biking 🚲 out there ...all the way to Mbuya and Kitintale... Good sights and sounds.
Oh my goodness. Of course I remember Bandali Rise. Sweet nostalgia. Thanks.
You’re welcome
Thanks a lot for the video - I used to live in Bugolobi flats in 1986 when Museveni came to power.
You’re welcome. Wow 1986 is a long time!
i love that some streets are so quite but so beautiful
Beautiful😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you so much for sharing the beautiful houses and scenerier of Bugolobi, Greetings from Stockholm👋🏿
Greetings, glad you enjoyed it!
Bugolobi was built in early 70's in Amin's regime (could hav been planed end 60s) meant for Civil servants but junior army officers were housed there, too. When Amin created de Marine Unit in de army, it wasnt there before in de army, they were sent for training to Iraq, on returning were also housed there!
You r correct, I wonder were she got her 1960 narrative. They were built for civil servants, completed in early 1970's and turned into a military garrison, then back to civil servants until they started selling them of in early 2000.
I grew up on Princess Anne Drive in Bugos and we visited friends in the flats often. Bugolobi market didn’t exist then. It was Middle East. …and that church? We were there from the beginning. The foundry was laid, we had church at a nearby hostel while it was being built. Good to see it now. Thanks for the tour. Pre 1988.
Welcome.
Uganda's weather looks chilled compared to the Caribbean, thanks for the sight seeing.
These days the weather has a mood 😀 it can be sunny one minute and cloudy the next, but I think it’s a sunny as the Caribbean
Indeed it's really a vibe for evening walk
It was!
I love your content and I have fallen in love with Bugolibi. I will definitely buy your guide.
Awesome! Thank you, you will enjoy it! 🤗
Nice vlog. Love ur commentary ur voice so soothing
Thank you!
I had a dog when I lived in Washington, DC. I had to walk her because she lived in the small apartment with me. She had to be taken out twice a day to use the bathroom. She also loved to get outdoors.
Thanks for the insight. I now understand it.
De Flats were built without those anti-burglar on balconies. There was then security in Bugolobi in 70s, actually in Kla as a whole!
I hv enjoyed the flower gardens around village mall
Very well cared for!
Great upload 👍. Thank you for sharing this upload.
I lived in Bugolobi neighborhoods, Bangalows with relatives in the Flats before we moved to lake drive Luzira.
You should also go do a tour of Luzira, Portbell and Lake Drive...
You’re welcome. I will visit Luzira for sure!
Can you please do a tour of batvally flats. The ones opposite Makerere University. I grew up in those flats in the 80s. What happened to Garden city mall. I no longer hear anyone talk about it.
Ohh I know bat valley flats. I will try to pass by. Garden City is still a vibrant mall, but new malls have come up and it’s not hyped any more. But will pass by too!
Love your vlogs. I have been watching them and brings back nostalgic memories. I live in the diaspora in Scotland. Can you please do a vlog of Muyenga? It would make my day. Thank you Rae and you have a beautiful smile and positive energy
You’re welcome. Will surely do a Muyenga vlog soon!
The environment looks fresh
Yes it was!
Otherwise thxs 4 great work
You’re welcome
Nze one thing I love about bugolobi is so quite, peaceful maybe that's y rich are found there
Yes no kavuyo
its looking cool but are bugolobi flats private or government property? thx u,,, we got lost together while having that long walk but bugolobi homes might look older but seated on bigger spaces n its quite a quiet neighbourhood n beautiful...
Im in England ,dint have a dog and dog walking is still as puzzling to me as it is to you 😊. Nobody walks cats though 😅
😂😂😂 ohh poor cats, they just need milk 🥛
Those mandazis at the bugolobi market looked so yummy. That question about the dog had me laughing so hard😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Yeah I never understand it 😂
@@ConnectWithUgandaI think Ugandans have adopted that dog walking culture from the west. The reason why people in the west walk their dogs is because in the city people do not have big compounds for dogs to run around and most animals stay indoors especially in the winter so, what happens is they take their dogs for walks so that they also get excercise. Unless one lives in the country side where most people have big big compounds. They also have dog parks in the west. So a park like for children but this one is for dogs. They also have dog and cat day care centers. You see how we take our kids to day care before we go to work. Some people take their dogs and also when they go on vacation they leave their dogs there so its like a ka boarding school for dogs.
They also have pet shops and in some of those shops you find groomers who shave dogs, cut their nails, bath them, and make them look nice.
The dog buisness here is big buisness.
Rae dogs are confined in our small home compounds and dont get to burn most of their energy so is it very very very important to take your dog on long walks for the good of their mental and physical health and also its like taking a walk with your bestie
Thanks for that incite. It makes sense to walk a dog if one lives in a big city, where dog be in an apartment all the time.
I watched the entire vlog. Nice camera. Doesn’t shake images. Which camera is it?
Appreciate, I use GoPro 11
Yeah, very good images. GoPros are wonderful. Thanks Rae for the vlogs. I wonder why all bloggers, Uganda ones in particular, don’t use GoPros. Most of their recordings shake a lot.
I’m embarrassed that I never reached Bugolobi even I spent 12 years in Kampala. The closest I reached was Mbuya , at the military headquarters and the Catholic Church.
How’s that possible, you stay in your house all day 😀?
What happened to the forest on Luthuli Avenue?
There was a forest on Lithuli 🤔 didn’t know. Never saw it
That's where I used to eat 😂
but ugandan people are very friendly and easy people because i see they are not attacking you but you come to tanzania and try filming they beat you
Pipo ascared ov in market bse u dont great show some love please
hmm you don’t know what you’re taking about 😀
