African Fine Coffees Review Special Edition Oct-Dec - EAFCA

Travelling around Uganda is truly an elegant adventure. There are several ways to get
around in Uganda, and the option you choose will depend upon your time constraints
and your budget. Travelling by road is the most accessible and probably the cheapest
way to travel, and public transport connects all major locations, and ventures far off
the beaten track.
Public Transport
Buses, Taxis, VIP vans and several touring trucks operated by Individual tour
operators are all available for the tourists to use and reach to their destinations.
Motorcycles (Boda Bodas), as they are locally known can always be used for short
distances and at the minimum speed possible.
Please note that there’s no guarantee of safety on using any of the above. Make sure
that you find the right operator or guide to assist you in this.
Costs for all these vary from time to time
Driving
