Kampala Travel Tips
Kampala travel tips courtesy of GeckoGo
  • Take a boda boda (moped taxi) elsewhere in Uganda. Riding one in Kampala is literally taking your life into your hands! Also, avoid rush hour in Kampala if you're traveling out of the city. I spent two hours traveling about 20 km... packed into a bus taxi.... The traffic gets horrendous.  Rob B.
  • Don't forget to check out that tiny tourist market where you can find lovely souvenirs, it's in every guide and it's perfect for the final afternoon :)  Pieter V.
  • First off I recomend if you are in Uganda to dress appropraitely(Did I even come close to spelling that right) Girls get some long but light skirts for walking around when it is hot or pants when it is cooler. There is nothing more embarressing then seeing a bunch of Brits in short shorts and then …  Carol B.
