Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni will on Thursday drive from his rural home to the capital, Kampala, making various stops in major towns.
President Museveni - who won a re-election last week - will make a total of seven stops in his route.

The president's victory lap comes amid calls for the government to lift the house arrest of opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi, the pop star-turned politician popularly known as Bobi Wine, who has rejected the election results.
The US has called for a probe into allegations of election irregularities by the opposition, which have yet to file a petition.
The opposition's offices were raided by the military and party officials say the material they were gathering for the petition was confiscated.
