Local know-how to help you travel smarter and make the most of every moment.
Car
If you're traveling by car within Central Region, head towards Kampala. From the city center, take Entebbe Road (A104) and then follow the signs to Rubaga Division. Once you reach Rubaga, look for Makamba Road. Uganda Origins is located at Plot 9 Makamba Rd, which is easily accessible by following the road signs. Parking is available nearby, but be sure to check for any parking fees in the area.
Public Transportation - Matatus
To use public transportation, find a matatu (shared taxi) heading towards Kampala. You can catch these matatus from various points in Central Region. Ask the conductor to drop you off at the Rubaga Division area. From there, you can either walk or take a motorcycle taxi ( boda boda) to Plot 9 Makamba Rd. Make sure to confirm the fare with the boda boda rider before starting your journey.
Public Transportation - Buses
Alternatively, you can take a bus to Kampala. Look for buses that route through the city center or directly to the Rubaga area. Once you arrive at the bus terminal in Kampala, use a taxi or boda boda to reach Plot 9 Makamba Rd. Again, confirm the fare beforehand to avoid any misunderstandings.
Motorcycle Taxi (Boda Boda)
If you are already in Kampala or Rubaga area, you can easily catch a boda boda to Uganda Origins. Simply tell the driver 'Plot 9 Makamba Rd, Rubaga,' and they will take you directly to your destination. The fare usually ranges from 1,000 to 5,000 UGX depending on your starting point.
