It has been forever since I last moved at 3AM in Kampala !
I had even forgotten what the life at night, looks like there.
We were driving in Makindye, in a territory that is so new to me.
I did not know what to expect.

At that hour, the dust on the road had fully settled down.
Literally, everybody had gone to sleep.
Even the little dogs that were roaming around, looking for what to eat, had all scampered to their little “caves”.
As a few revelers were still having the time of their life, at 3AM!
I was so hungry and on getting inside the house,
I decided to get myself something to eat.
On checking the time, I was heading to my bed at 5 minutes past 4AM!
That is the longest I have ever stayed up.
Some people are leaving their beds in the night
Others are jumping into their beds almost immediately.
At 3AM in Kampala!
Economy and insecurity are the reasons people sleep early lately.
We should pray for the pearl of Africa
😩😩
I remember moments like that when I was younger. I seemed to be the only person awake in the world.
😂😂
I’m a night owl so I’m always awake when everyone sleeps. It’s a good time to meditate.
👍👍
I haven’t stayed up that late in a very long time. It’s amazing to see the world in a completely different way at that time of the night.
👍👍
I am always awake at that time of the night. It’s because of my work, it is really a different scenery when its dark and it’s so peaceful.
👍👏🏿
Sounds like a great time with new sights and experiences at an hour you’re not normally awake.
👍👍
This is an amazing view. I’ve never been to this place before but its something worth going to.
👍👏🏿
It’s like a whole different world when you’re awake at that time right? I can’t stay up so late but i do love waking up early at 5am!
👍👏🏿
I rarely stay up until 3 am these days. 10 pm and I’m already off to bed. But the view was really nice at these times. the lights are beautiful at daw and I love the peaceful and quiet times.
👍👏🏿
I might wanna stay put until 3 AM too haha but my university days were over. I used to room around the streets at dawn
😩😂😂
My sleep hours have been crazy lately. My little town has nothing going on past 8pm and a lot of places even close earlier than that… boring, but I’m okay with boring most of the time. 🙂
👍👍
I have done that some times and it always throws me off for a couple of days!
😂😂
I can imagine just how tiring it is to be still awake at 3AM. I don’t think I can stay up that long though haha
😂😂
It has been long since I have pulled a night. I once did it to experience Meteor showers and it was fun
😊😊 okay….
I love the images you created through words in the post. It was like a poetry in prose. I have never been to Kampala yet I could almost see your surroundings complete with street dogs. Waking up at that hour makes me very hungry too . I would have digested my dinner and it was still early for breakfast .
😊😊
That is a really nice view you got there. Definitely worth the experience to stay up that late once in a while!
😍👏🏿
I need more, I was really getting into the story that was building up!
😂😂 okay.
As a mother of two toddlers, I have been accustomed to being still awake at 3 am from all the things left to do and to prepare for the next incoming day. The pros of it though are that it’s peaceful and quiet. haha
😂👍
I am a fellow insomniac. I was awake at 3 AM across the world last night too.
😂😂👏🏿👏🏿
