Getting There

• Car

  If you're driving from the center of Jinja, head northwest on Jinja – Kampala Road (A-109) towards the roundabout. Continue straight until you reach the junction where you will take the left turn onto the Jinja – Kamuli Road (B-204). Stay on this road for about 6 kilometers. Look for signs indicating Lugalambo. As you approach Lugalambo, keep an eye out for a local landmark or ask locals for directions to C35R+5C. The Tea Farms are located in this area, and you should be able to see signs or ask any local for assistance.

• Public Transportation (Matatu)

  From Jinja, head to the main bus terminal where you can catch a Matatu (shared taxi) heading to Lugalambo. Make sure to confirm with the driver that they are going to Lugalambo. The fare is typically around 1,000-2,000 UGX. The journey may take approximately 30 minutes to an hour depending on traffic. Once you arrive in Lugalambo, ask the conductor or locals for directions to C35R+5C, where the Tea Farms are located. It's a short walk from the drop-off point.

• Bicycle or Walking

  If you're feeling adventurous, you can rent a bicycle in Jinja and cycle towards Lugalambo. Follow the Jinja – Kamuli Road (B-204) for about 6 kilometers. This is a great way to enjoy the scenery, but be cautious of traffic. Once you reach Lugalambo, navigate to C35R+5C by asking locals for assistance if needed. Alternatively, if you prefer walking, it might take around 1.5 to 2 hours, so ensure you're prepared with water and appropriate footwear.
