The best way to get around Kampala city and the neighbouring towns is by using minibus-type taxis called matatus. This is the most efficient and cost-effective method of transportation in urban areas.

Pioneer Bus is a very nice option to take around town. You can identify these buses by their orange and black colors and large size.

Several bus companies offer direct lines between Kampala and neighbouring countries have stations in the city. A night bus from Kampala could start at 16:00hrs to arrive at 06:00hrs in Nairobi.

Probably the safest and fastest way for a group of 4 to 5 people to travel in Kampala is by Special Hire Taxi. In general, white or yellow Toyota Corolla’s seem to be the taxi of choice and can be identified by the “taxi” sign on top of the car or by the man yelling out his window at you. There are many taxi stages around town including Garden City, the National Theatre, and Pioneer Mall. The price is dependent on where you are going and how far it is.

CAR

The roads in Kampala are good. When planning to move around Kampala it is best not to ask how far it is but to ask how long it will take. Local drivers normally have a good idea of how long journeys will take. There saloon vehicle hire companies in the city. This will cost upwards of US$50.00 per day (not including fuel).

Perhaps the most adventurous thing you can do in Uganda is ride on a boda boda. These are commercial motorbikes. While they may be quite risky to use, they are the fastest and can get you to your destination in a split of seconds. They have mastered the art of manoeuvring their way through heavy traffic thus a favourite for many. Always be cautious while using a boda boda, you can tell the rider to go slow or fast if you so desire and be careful not to miss carrying your helmet.

You will definitely wish to try them.
