Other Modes of Transport to Access Entebbe Airport from Uganda.
There are three modes of public transport: boda-bodas, matatu and special hires.
Boda-Boda hire Uganda
The term “Boda-boda” refers to two-wheeled motorcycles, known for being the fastest but also considered the most hazardous means of transport. For a fare ranging from USh 5,000 to 15,000, you can reach almost any destination by riding on the back of a Boda-boda. However, it’s crucial to ensure that both parties agree on the fare before the ride commences to avoid any misunderstandings
Matatus (mini-bus)
Matatus are a fleet of licensed minibus taxis that operate on predetermined routes throughout the town and various parts of the country. While initially confusing for newcomers, using matatus to efficiently reach your desired destinations is not as challenging as it may seem. The routes are typically displayed on the matatu, providing clarity to passengers.
Matatus wait in designated parks until they reach full capacity, a process that usually takes less than 15 minutes but can occasionally extend to over half an hour. With each vehicle licensed to carry 14 passengers, the standard fare from Entebbe to Kampala is UGX 5,000 per person. Opting for a matatu is generally an economical, safe, albeit slower, and enjoyable mode of travel.
Saloon car hire/Special hires
If you prefer to skip the excitement of bodas and lack the time for a matatu, airport taxis, or saloon car taxis, commonly known as special hires, are conveniently accessible. These taxis can be found at the airport parking lot or in close proximity to the matatu park. It’s crucial to establish the fare agreement before boarding to avoid any surprises. Don’t hesitate to engage in negotiation; fares to most destinations can range from USh 50,000 to USh 200,000, depending on your bargaining skills and the specific route. you can still reach us at Gorilla safaris Uganda and arrange a comfortable and highly recommended ride
In summary, traveling to and from Entebbe to various parts of Uganda typically requires passing through Kampala. However, with the introduction of the new express bypass (with a nominal 5000 shilling fee), travelers can conveniently avoid the heavy traffic congestion in Kampala city, especially if their destination does not necessitate a visit to the city center. The three main transportation options available are private taxis, motorcycles (known as bodabodas), and matatus or small minibuses that operate to and from Entebbe Airport. It’s important to note that motorcycles are not permitted to access the airport premises, and matatus or small minibuses are parked approximately 800 meters away from the airport.
