A café with a wooden playground in a garden setting, known for combining play with a Saturday morning farmers market.
What is Kardamon Café?
Kardamon Café in Kampala has a brand-new wooden playground in a lovely garden setting. It is best known for combining play with the Saturday morning farmers market, which makes it a relaxed family outing rather than a pure play centre: parents can shop for produce and eat while children play on the wooden equipment.
The café also has a small play area inside for younger children, and the setting is calm and green. It suits toddlers and pre-schoolers, and is a good alternative to the louder commercial play parks.
Kardamon Café runs a wooden playground in a garden and hosts a weekly farmers market that supports local producers.
💡 Money-saving tips for families
