What is Meraki Karting Bugolobi?
Meraki Karting Bugolobi is an outdoor go-karting track in the Bugolobi area of Kampala, with a sandy play area alongside the track for younger children. The play area has swings, slides and monkey bars, and vervet monkeys are often around the trees at the edge of the site.
Karting is the main draw for older children and adults, with sessions run on a floodlit track. The sandy play area makes it workable for families with mixed ages, where one parent drives and the other supervises younger children.
The venue runs supervised karting with helmets and briefings, and keeps a play area for younger siblings.
💡 Money-saving tips for families
- Check the junior limits Age and height rules apply to the karts
- Bring closed shoes Required for driving
- Combine with the play area Younger children can play while others drive
