To reach Itanda Falls using public transportation, find a taxi or a boda boda (motorcycle taxi) from Jinja town to Itanda Falls. Taxis leave from the Jinja taxi park and usually cost around 2,000 UGX (Ugandan Shillings) per person.

Walking from the Drop-off Point

Once you are dropped off by the taxi or boda boda, you may need to walk the remaining distance to the falls. Follow the signs directing you to Itanda Falls. It's approximately a 10-minute walk from the drop-off point. Ensure you wear comfortable walking shoes as the terrain can be uneven.
