Kampala Airport Transportation

Entebbe International Airport (EBB)
Located on the northern edge of Lake Victoria in the small peninsula town of Entebbe, Entebbe International Airport is the chief facility serving Uganda’s capital city of Kampala. Known for its distance from the bustle of downtown, getting around can get difficult, something easy to fix with the right lift. Choose between something private to spend your time admiring Africa’s largest body of water, or get a convenient meet-and-greet service that makes important arrivals timely and stress-free.

EBB Transportation
Ground transportation at EBB Airport consists of some bus lines that drop off to Kampala via the long Kampala-Entebbe Road, plus a few taxi and car rental kiosks on the ground level of the terminal. Book a shuttle to take care of the day, going through either local area providers or private sedan companies for simple drop-offs to the heart of the region, not to mention the added perk of country views through wide windows.

Shared Ride Van
Those in search of a one-time ride to all-in-one locations should book a shared ride van, arriving to immediate coastal stays like Imperial Botanical Beach Hotel, or going for a deluxe downtown experience at Kampala Serena Hotel, which boasts 5-star rooms and a massive on-site garden, all by making arrangements with local shuttle companies.

Private Van
Carry up to a dozen passengers with a private van by your side, booking with area shuttle companies to see expansive locales ranging from the grandiose walls and ominous torture chambers of Kabaka’s Palace to the neighboring tranquility of Lubiri Gardens, located across the street from the palace grounds.

Private Sedan
Those in search of a simple ride should book a private sedan from local providers, finding beauty in the stillness at Ggaba Beach, which looks out at the pristine waters of Murchison Bay, or planning an afternoon road trip to the lush equator tropics of Mabira Forest in the far east.

Local Personal Drivers
Get a local personal driver to show you around town in a way that best fits you, looking forward to hidden treasures ranging from early-morning cafés to quiet beaches along Lake Victoria, all at the ease of asking.

Private SUV
For families in search of a lift that can carry up to six passengers, book a private SUV from area providers, spending your time at the awesome rides and play areas of Wonder World Amusement Park, or cooling off with the many pools, slides, and obstacle courses at Kids World Water Park.

Taxi Cab
Book a taxi to take care of the day, arriving to special events at the International Conference Centre or NWSC International Resource Centre without hassle, dipping past heavy traffic, stuffy parking lots, and unknown streets with a 24-hour lift just as ready to pick you up when the night’s over.

Stretched Limousine
Reserve a stretched limousine from local limo companies to enjoy all the capital-style eats and entertainment in matching elegance, arriving to The Lawns Wild Game & Barbecue Restaurant for dinner, afterward topping the night off with amazing musicals, concerts, and plays at Theatre LaBonita.

Chartered Bus
Reserve a chartered bus to get to know the area’s heart with over a dozen passengers, looking forward to expansive attractions ranging from natural history collections at the Uganda National Museum to the park lawns and paths at Independence Monument, which celebrates Uganda’s independence from Great Britain.

EBB Airport Terminals
Home to two terminals; one servicing international and another servicing domestic, EBB Airport is a widespread facility with three levels of restaurants, shops, and services that make waiting easy. The terminal is also known for its high-level security that adds extra time for every passenger, so be sure to arrive early.

 

Kampala Airport Shuttles

Entebbe International Airport Shuttles
Located an hour from downtown Kampala, many passengers that try to reach the country’s capital feel more comfortable leaving it in someone else’s hands. Arrive safe & sound with the help of a shuttle, booking through either local providers or area sedan companies for reliable rides as well as custom drop-offs to your hotel.

Before booking your shuttle, know exactly where you’ll be spending your trip, choosing between the mostly suburban Rubaga Division, which also contains royal palaces and tombs, or the central hilltop shops, art galleries, and casinos of the Nakasero neighborhood. For a combination of busy and rural, head to the Makindye Division, located on the north side of Lake Victoria and home to quaint beaches, the Wonder World Amusement Park, and the famous views of Munyonyo Martyrs’ Shrine. Make sure every part of your trip is organized before relaxing, printing out all confirmation emails for bookings and reservations, from shuttle rides to special sightseeing tours (one of the most popular being Katona Tours and Travel). Back up personal documents as well, scanning your medical prescriptions, identification, and passport for extra protection, then keeping those scans either in your email inbox or cloud drive. As far as how to organize on your person, consider investing in a travel journal, one with plenty of secure pockets, sleeves, and compartments.

About Entebbe International Airport
A modern facility with gorgeous views of Entebbe Bay, the airport makes first impressions easy, but with over an hour’s drive to most parts of Kampala, considering a hotel in the immediate town of Entebbe is a lot easier than most options. The closest airport hotels are Protea Hotel by Marriott, located on Airport Road and offering instant access to Lido Beach, Peniel Beach Hotel, which offers simple rooms near Sports Beach, and Rosemary Courts, a business-friendly stay with its own restaurant, balconied views of the bay, and excellent room service.

In addition to close access to hotels, the airport is home to its own accommodating services, from savory local restaurants to unique crafts. Enjoy in-flight necessities and snacks at JIT Tax & Duty Free, or head to the even bigger duty-free shop, simply called Tax & Duty Free Shop, finally picking up something special at Crafts and More, home to locally-made souvenirs, from jewelry to wood carvings. Beyond the strip of shops lies Crane Cafeteria, which offers a diverse pallet of eats, while NEWREST offers a bright ambiance and ready-made cafeteria food.

Placed in a very unique location, Entebbe Airport immediate surroundings are just as fun as the capital city of Kampala. Enjoy yourself with everything the area’s got to offer, from countless coasts along Lake Victoria that include Lido Beach and Sports Beach, to the gorgeous landscaping and old cottages courtesy of Entebbe Botanical Garden. Behind the botanical garden is Victoria Mall, a storied facility home to tasty restaurants and name-brand stores, while the waterside Uganda Wildlife Conservation Education Centre offers glimpses of rhinos, giraffes, and monkeys in their natural environment.

Kampala Destinations
Uganda’s unique capital city of Kampala offers hills upon hills of markets, city squares, and historic churches, not to mention surrounding lakeside towns and peninsulas that look out on Lake Victoria. Get a feel for the area by spending time at its most rewarding locations, from the burial site of royal family members at Kasubi Tombs, which has become a world-renowned heritage landmark, to the story of Uganda from start to present told at the Uganda Museum, located on Kira Road and home to village-centric exhibits alongside contemporary art pieces. For a stoic view of the city, choose between various high vistas, moving from Kampala Central Mosque, located on Namirembe Hill and offering glimpses of the skyline at over 4,000 feet above sea level, to the quieter Baha’I House of Worship, which rests on the north side of town.

More architectural stand-outs include the bizarre Basilica of the Uganda Martyrs, which offers a massive steel-framed cone inspired by old tribal huts, Rubaga Cathedral, famous for being the oldest Roman Catholic church in Uganda, and finally Bulange, Uganda’s parliament building known for its heated arguments and British-inspired designs. The city is also home to family-friendly attractions at Wonder World Amusement Park as well as Kids Park at Kavumba Recreation Center, both of which provide just enough time to spend the afternoon there. The city is also known for its many casinos surrounding The Independence Monument downtown, not to mention irresistible cuisine including Belgian eats at Le Château Brasserie Belge and classic Greek from Mythos Taverna and Lounge.
