Uganda - Internal Transport

* AIR

* We are not aware of any internal, scheduled flights at present.

* BUS

* Buses and minibuses operate everywhere in Uganda. There is always a minibus or share taxi service and between the larger centres, a full size bus.

* TAXI

* Taxis are available in the larger centres but agree the fare before departure. Outside of the main centres taxis usually operate as share taxis.

* CAR RENTAL
+ Driving:
- On the left as in Australia, Japan, UK etc. Many roads are in poor condition.

* Self drive:
Car rental on a self-drive basis is not common. In view of the state of some of the roads and also the fact that there is an almost total lack of signposts, it is generally advisable to hire a chauffeur with the car.

* Car rental companies include:

+ Batacos
- Kampala
- Tel: + 256 41 20516

* BOAT

* Lake Victoria ferry connects Port Bell with the Sese Islands.

* On the Kazinga Channel in Queen Elizabeth National Park, there is a boat trip to see the hundreds of hippopotamus.
