A newly unveiled Equator monument in Kasese, Uganda, is set to revitalise regional tourism.

The striking stainless-steel structure, designed by Eric Prince Ondia, replaces a colonial-era landmark dismantled in 2019 during road works.

Located in Queen Elizabeth National Park, the monument showcases a globe bisected by the Equator line.

It integrates seamlessly with Uganda’s lush landscape and offers cultural displays, a coffee shop, and craft stalls.

The project, initially slated for completion within six months, took nearly five years to finalise.

Despite delays, the result has exceeded expectations, becoming a source of local pride.

Tourism officials anticipate the landmark will boost visitor numbers and stimulate the local economy.

Ample parking and a ranger-managed restaurant are planned to enhance the site’s appeal and maintain order.

Local business owners express optimism about increased footfall and commercial opportunities.

The monument is seen as a symbol of Uganda’s modernisation and a rival to attractions in neighbouring countries.

Alongside Kayabwe Point on the Kampala-Masaka Highway, the Kasese monument joins Uganda’s notable Equator crossings, cementing the country’s status as a unique geographical and touristic destination.
