President Yoweri Museveni’s mansion in Rwakitura is not just a village home—it is a massive, expensive, and heavily guarded residence that only a few Ugandans have ever seen up close. From the outside, the mansion looks like a luxury hotel, with cream-coloured walls, a red-tiled roof, wide balconies, and large tinted glass windows that stretch across the front.The house is built in a modern style and has multiple floors. It sits in the middle of a very large compound covered with green grass that is neatly cut. The entrance is wide and clean, with security guards stationed at every corner.Around the house are flower gardens and tall trees that give the place a calm and beautiful feeling. There are also well-paved walkways, water tanks, and large shaded parking areas.Museveni’s mansion is located deep in the countryside of Kiruhura District. The home is part of a big private farm where hundreds of cows move freely in the nearby fields. His cattle, mostly the long-horned Ankole breed, are kept in modern kraals, and there are milk stores and equipment nearby.
The house is not only a place for rest but is also used for state meetings, where he hosts visitors including government officials and foreign guests.Inside the mansion, although cameras are not allowed, some sources say the interior has shiny tiled floors, large leather chairs, big TVs, soft carpets, and spacious rooms. The sitting room is believed to be very large, with decorated ceilings and art pieces on the walls. Every section of the house looks carefully planned and furnished to high standards.
