The town's new page header shows the braided bed of the Nyamwamba river running past the town, with the green Rwenzori range and its distant snow-touched peaks along the horizon.
A new calculator works out what trekking the Rwenzori actually costs: the Uganda Wildlife Authority park fees — which are far lower for a Ugandan or East African citizen than for a foreign visitor — the crew's published pay, and a fair tip. Pick a route, the number of days and your group size, and it shows the fees in the right currency, alongside the two community operators who run the Central Circuit and the Kilembe Trail. It is there to help you compare an operator's quote and to make sure the local porters, guides and cooks — who are your neighbours — are paid properly. It does not set a price; your operator's written quote is what binds.
Rain on the Mountains now shows on the town page how much rain the weather model has put on the slopes above town in the last two days, where the Nyamwamba's floods are born — with the next two days' outlook beside it. It is still not a flood warning; the real warnings come by radio.
When the water is off in Kasese, neighbours can flag where there's no supply right now, so you can tell whether it's just your tap or the whole area. Reports come from residents, not NWSC, and clear themselves automatically — with NWSC's toll-free line for reporting a burst or a leak.
Radio stations first, because warnings travel by radio here: Kasese Guide Radio 100.5 FM and Messiah Radio 97.5 FM. Then verified emergency numbers (112/999 and the toll-free fire line), the municipal council, the relocated hospital and the Uganda Wildlife Authority. Numbers we could not verify are listed as websites instead.
Why the taps dry up, where to go now Kilembe Mines Hospital has moved into town, where the Kilembe mine deal and Hima Cement ownership stand, the markets, the Mpondwe border and the equator landmark — answered plainly, with sources.
Flood preparedness as Kasese lives it: how warnings actually travel, what the district advised as the 2026 rains began, where people shelter, what to do about documents, and the honest state of the desilting and gabion works — each answer dated and sourced.
Floods here arrive from upstream, often under a calm town sky. This page reads a weather model at three points down the Nyamwamba's path — high Rwenzori slopes, Kilembe valley, Kasese town — and says in plain words how much rain fell in the last two days and what is expected next. It is not a flood warning, and it says so on every view: the warnings that count come by radio, from UWA spotters and district authorities. A 'For the radio' section gives presenters sentences they can read on air.
Kasese sits on the equator between the Rwenzori mountains and Queen Elizabeth National Park, and its defining fact is the River Nyamwamba, which flash-floods off the high slopes most years. The town starts with four tools built around what residents told reporters matters: upstream rain, flood preparedness, everyday questions, and who to call.
