Enchanting Gardens of Kampala: A Green Oasis

Getting There

• Car

  If you're traveling by car from the Eastern Region, start by taking the Jinja-Kampala Highway (A-4 road) heading west. This scenic route will take you directly into Kampala. Once you reach the outskirts of Kampala, follow signs for the city center. Continue until you reach Kigozi Street in the Central Division of Kampala. Look for the address at Kigozi Street Zanta, which is located approximately 2 km from the main city center. Ensure you have enough fuel, as fuel stations may be less frequent once you get closer to Kampala.

• Public Transportation

  To use public transportation from the Eastern Region, head to Jinja and board a 'matatu' (shared minibus) or a bus heading to Kampala. The journey will take around 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on traffic. Once you arrive at the main bus terminal in Kampala, you can either take a taxi or another matatu to Kigozi Street. The taxi fare will typically cost between 10,000 - 20,000 UGX, and it's about a 15-minute drive from the terminal to Kigozi Street Zanta.

• Taxi

  For a more direct route, you can hire a taxi from anywhere in the Eastern Region to Kampala. Agree on a fare beforehand, which should be around 100,000 - 150,000 UGX, depending on your starting point. Upon reaching Kampala, instruct the driver to take you to Kigozi Street Zanta. This option is convenient, especially if you are traveling in a group.
