Getting there

Walking

If you're in the Bugolobi area, start by heading towards the main road, Jinja Road, which is the primary thoroughfare in this neighborhood. Walk towards the Nakawa area, keeping an eye out for local landmarks such as the Bugolobi Market. Once you reach Jinja Road, continue walking for about 15-20 minutes until you reach the Nakawa roundabout. From the roundabout, you will see signage directing you towards Manglam Gardens.

Boda Boda (Motorbike Taxi)

For a quicker option, you can hire a boda boda. Find a nearby boda boda stage, often located near markets or busy intersections. Make sure to negotiate the fare before you start your journey; it should typically be around 2,000 to 5,000 UGX depending on your starting point. Tell the rider to take you to Manglam Gardens, and they will navigate the best route for you. The ride should take approximately 5-10 minutes.

Bicycle Taxi

Another option is to use a bicycle taxi, or 'boda-boda bicycle.' These are more eco-friendly and can weave through traffic more easily.
