Transport in Kampala, Uganda – Travel Options & Fares

By
Our Reporter
-
Minibuses, or taxis, are stuck in a traffic jam in late December in Kampala, Uganda. During the Christmas season, people from across the country come to Kampala to shop leading to a rise in vehicle use. (Nakisanze Segawa, GPJ Uganda)

Situated in the central region, Kampala is the busiest city and capital of Uganda. It welcomes people from various parts of the nation. Kampala is home to plenty of things including commercial buildings, shopping malls, lodging facilities, financial institutions, business centers, and more.

In simple terms, you can call it the pivot of Uganda. Adding to a favorable business environment, Kampala differs its self-unique with an incredible transport system. There is a lot to say, but this article about transport in Kampala details useful information including the travel options, taxi fares and the means used.

For air travelers from abroad, Entebbe airport is your first stop. Thereafter you can connect to the capital. The distance between these two points is about 45km.

A drive by car requires about one hour. Most passengers use local taxicabs for transport from Entebbe airport to other areas of the country. There is no tube, train, or public means.

It is good to reserve one in advance before your arrival. You can also hire a Toyota Hiace or Coaster bus for group transfer ebb airport.

How to Get around Kampala

Once in the capital, road transport is the main mean used to get around. If you prefer to enjoy public means, the different options available for travel around include Matatu taxis, Pioneer easy bus, Boda Boda, and Tuk-tuk.

Matatu Taxi

This is a 14 passenger vehicle. Made by Toyota, these cars are silver, white, and black in color with a horizontal stripe of blue dots. Matatus transport people to different places in the suburbs of the city.

If you want to use one of them, visit USAFI, the Old or New Taxi Park to board. Other than that you can find them along some streets in Kampala with men yelling and inviting passengers.

For example, if you need to travel up to Ntinda, Najera, Kiwatule, Bukoto, Wandegeya or Kamwokya. You can find these taxis near Mapeera house.

For Bwaise, Kawempe, Kagoma, Matuga, and more, go to that street that is just opposite the Mabirizi complex. If you are on time, don’t go to the parks. Just wait along the streets.

The charge depends on the distance. Travelers pay 3000 shillings from the city to Ntinda, 5000 shillings for Kampala to Kira, 7000 shillings for Kampala to Kitolo, Entebbe, and more. It is 10000 shillings up to Lugazi, but if you are a good bargainer you can pay 8000 or 9000 shilling for this trip.

Pioneer Easy bus

Pioneer easy bus has scheduled routes. They mostly transfer commuters to and from the city. It operates along Kampala – Jinja road and Kampala – Entebbe road. Their stage is at the city square.

This bus is spacious and more comfortable. With Pioneer easy bus you pay and you enter. The cashier issues you a receipt. After you are free to get a seat and enjoy your trip.

Boda Boda

For a quick get-around, this is the best. Boda Boda in Uganda is allowed to carry one passenger although some riders defy the rule and take more than one person.

Some operators go by the customers’ requests. Sometimes passengers come when there are two and wish to use one Boda guy. It is not allowed but in Uganda everything is possible. I advise you not to be defiant.

Follow the rules. Don’t forget to put on a helmet. Every corner in the city has a stage for Boda Boda. You can as well use your phone to get a Safe Boda. If you don’t have the Safe Boda app, visit the play store and download one.

Tuk-tuk

The Tuk-tuk carries 2-3 people. This three-wheeled vehicle has a tent casing that frees passengers from dust, sunshine, and rainfall. Within the city center, it is hard to find a tuk-tuk. There are mostly found in places like Natete, Nalukolongo, Busabala road, and more.

Trips to the Upcountry

For upcountry trips, there is a bus for you. Companies like gateway, Horizon, Modern Coast, Link, Nile coaches, YY, Gaaga, and more offer scheduled trips to places like Mbarara, Masindi, Gulu, Moroto, Kotido, Soroti, Lira, Arua, Pakwachi, Kitgum, Mbale, Bushenyi, Ntungamo, Fort portal to name but a few.

Kampala has various bus terminals where you can go to book a ticket. Visit offices for one of the bus companies in Kampala to reserve the ticket in advance. You can choose to travel during the day or at night depending on your itinerary.

Other options

Special hire taxi

To those who hate the public means you can hire a taxi in Kampala. Operators of taxicabs offer the service to clients who need private transport.

Special hires in Kampala have specific locations where you can find them such as garden city, acacia mall, national theatre, and more. The fares depend on the number of kilometers to cover.

Car rental with a Driver or Self-drive

Other than taxi hire, you can rent a car in Kampala with a driver for your trip in Uganda. Different companies provide cars for rental at affordable rates. The charge is usually per day less fuel.

The driver is available for you at an extra cost. Some of the cars provided include the Toyota Rav 4, Super custom, Toyota Hiace, Safari van, Land cruisers, Nissan hardtop, and more.

For group travels, you can choose the option for coaster bus rental in Uganda. This is more perfect if you are in a group of more than fifteen people. The coaster bus isn’t available for self-drive. It is hired out with a driver.

Why is there no impact on the office of the RDCs as was the case in the late 1980s and early 1990s?

HULLO: President Yoweri Museveni greets the author Mr Nabende Wamoto.

 

 

In security/strategic studies, we learn that when you fail to demystify, you create a mystery. This is so because in the cycle of every man/woman, there is an empty void. One will notice many times that many people change what they say so that it doesn’t contradict what they do.

Direct/open involvement by officers of the State such as Police spokespersons who in the Daily Monitor dated December 14, 2021 page 8 “Bobi free to access Kayunga for LC5 campaigns” and the Resident District Commissioner who said Bobi wouldn’t be permitted to enter Kayunga District for the campaigns brought shame to the government and portrays Kayunga as the only local government electoral area in the whole country yet there are Local Government elections in 114 electoral areas and districts put together. I would have put them in hot water balloons and sent them to unknown spaces if I were the president, for these are people who deserve to undergo character transplant for they want to cause the masses to believe in the saying that those who vote decide nothing but those who count votes decide everything.

Kayungu District is too small an area to deploy over 20 RDCs to mobilise voters in an area where they don’t have superior knowledge of. Government is entrusted to deliver an antelope to the people of Uganda instead it’s officers are simply delivering a rabbit instead. This will force the population to conclude that if there is no food for them to eat, they are going to eat the government, the best example is the Medical Interns’ strike which unfortunately is eating up the people (poor patients). Mr President, I am putting up my heart For Sale because of the ongoing mistakes. I am one of the poor,orphan patients actually very poor, first I felt like committing suicide considering that Your Excellency have been over burdened (Bitting what can’t be swallowed) such as war against Buganda Land Board, failure to gazette cultural leader of Bugisu, construction of roads in Congo yet the road to my home village, Bududa is impassable, My second dose of Sinovac vaccine is nowhere to be acquired, High tech corruption yet health workers have no basic PPEs.

Removal of bail for capital offenders. Through Your Excellency, I give the World a golden opportunity to sell my heart for whoever needs a transplant. Anyone who feels he/she may need middle aged yet vigorous heart for only $100,000, I request that the money be sent to my family account as soon as possible whoever the buyer will collect his heart in three years’ time, this simple delay is necessary so that I can spend the money on my would be three remaining orphan children receive good university education, upon expiry of the three years, delivery will be prompt, This will also help me to depart so that I don’t witness the bloody chaos of the next election. When the NRM/A took power in the ’80s, central government representatives were referred to as Special District Administrators (SDAs), then later called Central Government Representatives (CGR), this was the time when I had just finished my studies in Nairobi, where I met now First Lady Mrs. Museveni and her then young family. H.E The President then severally and variously wrote guidelines and directives to mobilizers including then SDAs/CGRs and other political leaders on key and topical areas on which to mobilise the masses.

The President described a mobilizer as a person who should remove doubts, explain disappointments and maintain hope. Subjects such as HIV/AIDS awareness campaigns, National and Human Security, Food Security, Land Fragmentation practices, Banana wilt disease, Immunisation and Vaccination against Killer Diseases, Illegal evictions, Respect and Advancement of Cultural Institutions (Buganda, Tooro, Bunyoro Kingdoms plus chiefdoms such as Busoga, Inzu Ya Masaaba in Bugisu etc.)

The question therefore, why is there no impact on the office of the RDCs as was the case in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The SDAs and CGRs “SIGIRIs” as we’re popularly referred to by grassroot masses were Pre-constituent Assembly, Pre-multiparty field officers who enjoyed powers to make decisions and even cause on-site arrests of corrupt or criminal suspects without politicization as it is today. The officers (SDAs/CGRs) were appraised by absentee supervisors/superiors without regard for being bribed in order to receive positive appraisal reports. They (field officers) would file effective, unbiased periodical reports without fear of counter petitions by corrupt, criminal local councils (politicians). That a district like the greater Mbarara starting at the border with Tanzania and ended at Kiburara Mpanga bridge neighbouring Kabarole and the SDA/CGR then would cover all these stretches without fail yet ill-equipped with old vehicles now we have new vehicles with very small county districts but with low production and biased reports.

DRC declares Ebola outbreak over

By

Health workers in DRC

The Ebola outbreak that erupted in the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s North Kivu Province in October 2021 was today declared over, the national health authorities announced after no new cases were reported at the end of a 42-day countdown, or two incubation periods after the last confirmed case was discharged.

In total, 11 cases (eight confirmed, three probable), including six deaths were reported in the outbreak that was declared on 8 October after a new case was confirmed in Beni health zone in the country’s North Kivu Province. This was the country’s 13th outbreak and occurred in the same area as the 2018 outbreak which lasted two years.

More than 1800 people were vaccinated in a campaign that kicked off just five days after the first case was detected. The outbreak marks the first time the recently-licensed ERVEBO vaccine against Ebola was used in the country. ERVEBO is the same as the compassionate-use vaccine, but as a licensed vaccine, rollout is less cumbersome operationally.

 “Stronger disease surveillance, community engagement, targeted vaccination and prompt response are making for more effective Ebola containment in the region,” said Dr Matshidiso Moeti, World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Director for Africa. “During this outbreak, the Democratic Republic of Congo was able to limit widespread infections and save lives. Crucial lessons are being learned and applied with every outbreak experience.”

Swift response comprising key outbreak control measures such as contact tracing, testing, disease surveillance as well as community collaboration efforts helped contain the outbreak within Beni, where the initial case was detected. In support of the country, WHO deployed experts, supplies, and contributed funds to help contain the outbreak.

However, unpredictable and sometimes volatile security in parts of Beni hampered response in some localities, with health workers and other frontline responders unable to access insecure areas to monitor high-risk contacts or administer vaccines.

The prevention of sexual abuse and exploitation was a core pillar of the response. An expert was deployed to train WHO personnel and partners on preventing inappropriate and abusive behaviour. Every person involved in field work received training and each partner agency signed a code of conduct. Trainers engaged directly with community members where health authorities were working to raise awareness about sexual exploitation and abuse and how to report it safely. Radio spots and pamphlets in local languages also helped spread the message.

With the outbreak now declared over, the health authorities are maintaining surveillance and are ready to respond quickly to any flare-ups. It is not unusual for sporadic cases to occur following a major outbreak. Results from genome sequencing conducted by the country’s National Institute of Biomedical Research found that the first Ebola case detected in the just-ended outbreak likely represented a new flare-up of the 2018–2020 Ebola outbreak due persistence of the virus in the community.

The country has set up an Ebola Survivor Programme which currently has more than 1100 people from previous outbreaks in North Kivu Province. The two survivors from the now-ended outbreak have been enrolled in the survivor programme. For the next 18 months they will receive monthly check-ups, which include medical evaluations, psychological and nutritional support.

Uganda considers retaliatory ban on Kenyan products

Minister for East African Community Affairs, Rebecca Kadaga

The Minister for East African Affairs, Ms Rebecca Kadaga, has revealed that Uganda is considering retaliatory measures over Kenya’s continued ban of its agricultural products.

Ms Kadaga said Cabinet has asked the Agriculture ministry to identify and list Kenyan products that would be prohibited by the Ugandan government within a ‘short period of time.’

“We have been too patient. In the past, we have not reciprocated, but now we are going to. This has gone on for too long and within a short time, they too will understand what we are going through,” she told a press on Tuesday.

While Kenya is Uganda’s biggest trade partner, with Kenyan exports to Uganda in 2020 amounting to $673.66 million and Uganda’s exports to Kenya stood at $465.55 million during the same period, the two countries have been embroiled in a trade dispute since 2019.

Kenya has stopped importing Ugandan milk and sugar, claiming that they are substandard. Kenya also banned maize grain from Uganda, saying the imports have high levels of mycotoxins that are consistently beyond safety levels

In October, Uganda invited Kenya’s Agriculture and Trade ministerial teams to Kampala for dialogue to clear the stalemate. But Kenya last month postponed a trade mission to Uganda.

In April, the two countries had struck a deal to resolve the persistent trade dispute between them following a seven-day visit by Kenyan officials led by Ms Maina to Kampala.

In addition to discussing non-tariff barriers (NTBs) affecting trade between the two countries, the Kenyan delegation sought assurances that the sugar exported to Kenya was wholly produced in Uganda.

Following the visit, the two nations signed a framework of trade co-operation and agreed that Kenya would import up to 90,000 metric tonnes of Ugandan sugar per year from July 1, 2021.

The officials also agreed to abolish a 35 percent excise duty on liquid petroleum gas cylinders manufactured in Uganda. However, all these have not been implemented.

Museveni commends Indian community on contribution to economic development

Sudhir Ruparelia speaking during the International Diwali Celebrations he hosted for the Indian Association and Indian Community in Uganda at State House Entebbe.

President Yoweri Museveni has commended the Indian community in Uganda for its contribution to the economic development of the country and appealed to them to encourage more people to exploit the vast investment opportunities here.

“Thank you so much for your contribution to the economic development of the country. Bring more business people for investments here. Encourage more people to come for tourism also,” he said.

The President was speaking during the International Diwali Celebrations he hosted for the Indian Association and Indian Community in Uganda at State House Entebbe.

The celebrations were also attended by the Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development Matia Kasaija, the new Uganda High Commisioner to UK Nimisha Madhvani, Mehta and his wife among others.

Diwali is an Indian festival that symbolises the spiritual victory of light over darkness among Indian community faiths in India; Hindus, Sikhs, Jain’s, Muslims and some Buddhists and has been hosted in Uganda for the last six years.

Speaking to the celebrants, President Museveni congratulated the Indian community on the day of Diwali saying that it was worth being marked among the Indian race as a unifying factor in faith.

On Indians expulsion from Uganda, he noted that by historical authority he, Mr. Museveni, had a mandate to reject the mistakes of former head of State Idi Amin for the expulsion of Indians from Uganda in 1972.

“There was no legitimate reason to expel the Indians. Idi Amin’s act was rubbish. Those people did not understand the theoretical and practical mistake made that had an element of chauvinism,” he said.

Responding to the Indians plea to be included among the local tribes in Uganda, the President said that the Indians already have a tribe popularly known as the Bahindi.

“Actually, sociologically speaking, the Indians already have a well-known tribe like the known groups Bazungu, Bahalabu, Chinese except that it should considered constitutionally. The Indians are already part of Uganda society,” he said.

He commended the Indian community for their tremendous contribution towards national economic development and prosperity.  “They are working hard for the prosperity of the country,” he said.

He said that government will give its support come 2022 when the Indian community will be commemorating 100 years since they arrived in the country.

The Indian High Commissioner to Uganda Shri Ajay Kumar reminded the Indian community on a symbolic a day saying that they should never pass unnoticed for its significance that will bring the next Indians generations in diversity together. He wished Ugandans a Merry Chrismas and a happy New Year 2022.

The Chairman of the Indian Association in Uganda Mohana Rao said that the umbrella organisation of the Indians of origin living in Uganda sensitizes all Indians to rally together with the government authorities about covid- 19 precautions, abiding by the laws and enabling environment that the government created to contain the pandemic for businesses to revive.

“We are mobilizing Indians in Uganda to get vaccinated. Make sure that the SOPs are followed in their areas of location,” he said.

He commended the NRM government for the conducive, progressive and all inclusive economic atmosphere that exists in the country at the same time reminding Indians to live peacefully, prosperously and profitably.
