The pontiff was seen off by president Yoweri Museveni and top government officials.
But before Sunday's departure, the pope preached reconciliation in his message to Ugandans on day-four of his Africa tour.
Wild cheers and singing broke out as the pontiff arrived at the open air shrine where he celebrated mass in front of 100,000 people at an open-air shrine to Christian martyrs in Namugongo, Many had waited from before dawn to attend the mass, a key highlight of the Pope's visit to Uganda, making the journey from as far as neighbouring South Sudan.
