Ruparelia Group managing director, Rajiv Ruparelia says, “The Goat Races are more than just another event in Uganda, it’s a place where people can come and network and mix along with business, pleasure and have a fun humorous time with good food and drinks all day long.”
It features Kampala’s top DJs and artistes and who is who, dressed in trending setting and extravagant wear – it is a day to show off, make merry, and be happy.
