Kabale District, Administrative district in Western Region, Uganda.
Located in southwestern Uganda, Kabale District spreads across hills and valleys with numerous lakes, featuring agricultural lands and residential settlements.
The district emerged from the former Kigezi District, leading to the formation of separate administrative units including Rukungiri, Kanungu, Kisoro, Rubanda, and Rukiga.
The Bakiga people form the main ethnic group in Kabale District, maintaining their traditions through regular community gatherings, musical performances, and local ceremonies.
The district capital, Kabale town, connects to Kampala via a 410-kilometer road network and offers various accommodation options for visitors exploring the region.
The district name originates from the Rukiga word for small stone, earning the area the local nickname 'Kastone' among its residents.
