Getting there

Walking

If you are in the central area of Kampala, start at the famous Owino Market. Head northeast towards the Clock Tower, which is a well-known landmark. From the Clock Tower, continue on Jinja Road for about 1 kilometer until you reach the junction with Kampala Road. Turn left onto Kampala Road and walk for about 500 meters. You will see the sign for Kampala Uganda on your right. The area is lively, filled with shops and street vendors, so enjoy the local atmosphere.

Boda-Boda (Motorcycle Taxi)

Find a nearby boda-boda stand, which are common throughout the city. Negotiate a fare to Kampala Uganda. The driver will likely take you via Jinja Road. The ride should take approximately 10-15 minutes depending on traffic. Make sure to wear a helmet and hold on tight. The driver will drop you off at the entrance of the cafe, which is located at a busy intersection.

Public Taxi (Matatu)

Locate the nearest taxi stage (usually a designated area where public taxis pick up passengers). Look for a matatu heading towards 'Kampala' or 'Rubaga'. Board the matatu and pay the fare (usually around 1,000-2,000 UGX). Keep an eye out for your stop; you can ask the conductor to notify you when you reach the area near Kampala Uganda. The journey will take around 20-30 minutes. Once you get off, walk towards the cafe, which is a short distance from the main road.
