Mukono District

[2] The town of Mukono is about 21 kilometres (13 mi) by road, east of Kampala, the capital and largest city of Uganda.

[3] This is about 55 kilometres (34 mi) west of the town of Njeru, where the Nalubaale Power Station is situated, on the Kampala–Jinja Highway.

[6] The district has a favorable climate, abundant rainfall, rich flora and fauna, and proximity to urban areas.

[7] In the middle of the district runs the River Sezibwa, believed by Buganda legend to have been borne by Nakangu Tibatesa, the wife of Nsubuga Sebwaato in Kawuna, Ngongwe, around the time of the Christian biblical prophet Isaiah.

The nature of its birth makes the river a cultural symbol of great importance to Buganda's heritage.

The Ssezibwa Falls located 35km east of Kampala in Mukono district is about seven meters high with the sweet hissing sound created by the falling water. The falls have a cultural and traditional bearing in the region and on the Baganda in particular due to the myths behind the formation of the Ssezibwa River. It is believed that this river, together with another called Bwanda was born by a Woman on her way to a place called Kavuma Bukunja many hundred years ago .
