Royal heritage

Empango

Empango is the coronation anniversary of the Omukama. It is one of the most important cultural moments in Bunyoro-Kitara.

Why Empango matters

Empango brings together the Kingdom, leaders, elders, families, visitors, and friends. It is a moment to remember heritage, renew unity, and honour cultural leadership.

For many Banyoro, Empango is not only a ceremony. It is a reminder that culture is alive and that every generation has a duty to keep it strong.
