For further advice, contact a local government travel advice department. International Airports Entebbe (EBB) is 35.5km (22 miles) southwest of Kampala (travel time – 30 minutes). There are bus services to Kampala. Taxis are also available. Airport facilities include duty-free shops, restaurants, banks/bureaux de change, post office, car hire and hotel reservations. Departure tax: No airport tax is levied on passengers upon embarking at the airport (service charge is included in the ticket). Note: All airline tickets purchased in Uganda must be paid for in hard currency. Back to Top Air Travel Air Commuter, Challenge Air, Eagle Air, Missionary Aviation Fellowship, TMK and United Airlines offer flights from Entebbe to most major towns. Charter flights are also available. Uganda’s main airline, Uganda Airlines (QU), is no longer in operation. Other airlines serving Uganda include Air Rwanda, Air Tanzania, British Airways, Egyptair, Emirates, Ethiopian Airlines, Kenya Airways, SN Brussels and South African Airways. Approximate flight times: From Kampala to London is 8 hours. Back to Top Travel By Water Local boat services link Entebbe to the Ssese Islands. Between Kampala in Uganda and Mwanza in Tanzania, it is possible to catch a boat on Lake Victoria. Back to Top Rail Uganda Railways does not operate passenger services at present. Back to Top Travel By Road Traffic drives on the left. The road network extends over 28,332km (17,605 miles). The roads are of variable quality and radiate from Kampala, although the network is sparse in the north. There are still some army and police check points on roads and railways. Bus: Services run between most parts of Uganda but are unreliable and often very crowded. Scheduled services operate between Entebbe and Kampala (travel time – 1 hour) and to and from the airport. An extensive network of minibuses, known as Matatus, runs to most parts of the country and they are a quick and convenient form of transport, if a little overcrowded. Post-bus services operate Monday to Saturday from Kampala to main towns. There are also special taxis, identifiable by their black and white stripes, which take passengers to wherever they want to go but are more expensive than Matatas. Documentation: An International Driving Permit and adequate third-party insurance is required. Drivers must carry their vehicle log books. There are connections with all neighbouring countries, although borders are not always open. However, travellers should take local advice before crossing the border with Rwanda, and should not attempt to cross the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo. Bus: There is a daily bus service between Kampala and Nairobi, Arusha and Dar-es-Salaam.
