Yesterday, the Ministry together with tourism stakeholders and partners successfully launched the #ExploreAnkole campaign which will commence on the 27th March,2026. State Minister @mugarra invited all Ugandans to embrace and participate in such initiatives that continue to showcase Uganda's unmatched treasures,culture and heritage. He equally unveiled the #MbararaCityMarathon26 that will be one of the highlights of the campaign alongside other amazing cultural experiences. Are you ready 🔥 @ExploreUganda

📌 #ExploreAnkole X #MbararaCityMarathon26 Earlier today we launched the #ExploreAnkole domestic tourism campaign and the #MbararaCityMarathon26, events that will further spotlight the Ankole sub-region as a tourism destination. Ankole is immensely gifted culturally and has one of the most sought-after traditional activities- cattle keeping. The successful conservation of the #longhornedcattle in particular, and for centuries, draws global attention to Ankole and her other intricate tangible and intangible heritage. There is so much to explore outside of culture; the various physical features, iconic monuments and the social dynamics of the communities. When it comes to #SportsTourism, marathons have for eons proved a great way to draw in diverse groups of participants, from around the globe. This not only gives exposure to the marathon destination but also drives economic benefit in a ripple effect. We have witnessed numerous regional and brand marathons take off and take root in the recent past and I am glad that we get to experience the #MbararaCity version. I encourage everyone to join us as we traverse Ankole - largely dotted on as the “land of milk and honey.”
