5 Things Every First-Time Visitor Should Know Before Touring City Gate

Peter Otim 09 Aug 2026 2 min read 2 comments

We host farmers, students, and curious visitors from across Northern Uganda every week. A little preparation makes the visit far more useful — here is what we tell every first-time group.

1. Book ahead, even for small groups

We keep tour groups small enough that everyone can actually see and ask questions, so slots fill up — especially during the Term 3 school-visit season. Use the Book a Visit form and we will confirm within 48 hours.

2. Wear closed shoes

You will be walking through poultry houses, goat pens and crop rows on real farm ground — sandals are not ideal. Closed shoes you do not mind getting a little dusty are best.

3. Come with questions

Our guides are farm staff, not tour-script readers — ask about feed costs, disease management, or what it actually takes to run a mixed farm. That is where most visitors get the most value.

4. Groups get a tailored focus

Tell us your purpose when booking — school trips, agribusiness research, or buyers scouting livestock all get a slightly different route through the farm.

5. Bring a note pad if you are training

If you are here for hands-on training rather than a general tour, you will see and do more than you can remember afterward. Most trainees find a notebook more useful than a phone camera.

We look forward to hosting you — book your visit any time through the website.

Impressed!
Didn't know such a farm exists in Lango subregion here until I met the Rev. Canon in Tiktok.
Thanks proprietor.
I'm on my way to learn from that establishment
