Discover the Lush Beauty of National Forestry Authority - Namanve

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car from any location in Eastern Region, first ensure you are on the main road heading towards Kampala. Use the Jinja-Kampala Highway (A-4). Continue on this highway until you reach the outskirts of Kampala. Look for signs that direct you towards Namanve. As you enter Namanve, keep an eye out for the coordinates 9M4J+XC4 on your GPS or navigation app. Once you reach the coordinates, you will find the National Forestry Authority on your right.

• Public Transportation

  For travelers using public transport, start by taking a taxi or a bus to Kampala. From Jinja, you can catch a bus to Kampala at the Jinja Bus Terminal. Once in Kampala, you can take a taxi (matatu) that is headed towards Namanve. Make sure to ask the conductor to drop you off at the Namanve area. Inform them you need to get to the National Forestry Authority. The fare for the bus from Jinja to Kampala is approximately 5,000 USh and the fare for the taxi from Kampala to Namanve is around 2,000-3,000 USh.

• Combination (Car and Public Transport)

  If you prefer a combination of both methods, you can hire a private car or a taxi from Jinja to Kampala. After reaching Kampala, switch to a local taxi (matatu) heading to Namanve. The cost for a private hire from Jinja to Kampala typically ranges from 50,000 to 100,000 USh depending on the vehicle type. Ensure that you communicate your destination clearly to the driver to avoid any confusion.
