This year’s Kagulu Rock Climbing Challenge is expected to draw over 40,000 participants and will be attended by Kyabazinga William Nadiope IV, along with First Deputy Premier and Minister for East African Community Affairs, Ms Rebecca Kadaga.

Busoga Kingdom Minister of Tourism and Heritage, Ms Hellen Namutamba, announced that the annual event will take place on August 17 in Miru Village, Kagulu Sub-county, Buyende District.

“The Kyabazinga is expected to be chief climber, Ms Kadaga will be the chief guest, among other dignitaries, while over 40,000 participants are expected,” Ms Namutamba said on Monday.
