Getting there

Walking

If you are in Kololo, you can easily walk to Acacia Mall. Start by heading towards Cooper Road, which is a well-known street in the area. Depending on your starting point, you may need to ask locals for directions to Cooper Road. Once you reach Cooper Road, continue walking until you see the Acacia Mall at 14-18 Cooper Rd. The mall is located on your right side, and you will recognize it by its distinctive modern architecture.

Boda Boda (Motorcycle Taxi)

For a quicker option, you can take a boda boda. Locate a boda boda stage nearby in Kololo. Make sure to negotiate the fare before getting on; a typical ride to Acacia Mall should cost around 1,000 to 3,000 UGX, depending on your exact starting location. Tell the driver to take you to Acacia Mall on Cooper Road. The ride usually takes about 5 to 10 minutes, depending on traffic.

Walking + Boda Boda

If you prefer to combine walking and using a boda boda, you can walk to the nearest main road (like Jinja Road) and then catch a boda boda from there. This could be a good option if you are further away from Cooper Road. Again, the fare should be around 1,000 to 3,000 UGX. Ensure you specify that you want to go to Acacia Mall on Cooper Road.
