The Baganda are the largest and one of the most influential ethnic groups in Uganda, primarily inhabiting the central region of the country, which was historically the powerful Kingdom of Buganda. They are a Bantu-speaking people, and their language, Luganda, is widely spoken throughout Uganda.
A defining characteristic of the Baganda is their highly organized traditional monarchy, led by the Kabaka (King), who holds significant cultural and spiritual authority. Their society is structured around a complex clan system, with each clan having its own totem and customs. Historically, the Kingdom of Buganda was a dominant political and military force in the Great Lakes region, known for its sophisticated administrative system and fierce independence, which played a crucial role in the shaping of modern Uganda.
