-------------------------------
Kasese was the end of the line for ardent rail travel enthusiasts. The train stopped operations in 1997 due to security issues and the fact the bus service was taking the market share of passengers. Visitors to Kasese prior to 1997 came primarily with the intensions of organising trekking trips to the nearby Ruwenzori Mountains National Park. The national park re-opened to visitors in 2001 and Kasese is starting to see a return of tourists to the town.
There is a large market and plenty of shops to buy fresh and dried provisions, and rubber boots for those trekking in the Ruwenzori. There is a bakery on the main street and several restaurants. The Post Office is on the main road next to the Shell filling Station. There is a UTC card phone there, however MTN Publicom phones can be found around town and at the Shell Filling Station. Internet access is avaiable at Reroc Internet cafe close to the Post Office on Rwenzori Road, Ush100- per minute.
