Getting there

Car

If you're driving from Arua, take the A1 road heading southeast. Travel for about 50 kilometers until you reach the junction at Pakwach. Turn left onto the road towards Kochi, which is approximately 20 kilometers. The road is generally well-maintained but be cautious of potholes. Follow the signs leading you to Kochi River, which will be on your right. Parking is available near the riverbank.

Public Transportation

From Arua, you can take a shared taxi (matatu) heading towards Pakwach. The fare is usually around 10,000 UGX. Once you reach Pakwach, you will need to take another matatu or motorcycle taxi to Kochi River, which will cost an additional 5,000 to 10,000 UGX. Make sure to inform the driver of your destination. The journey may take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours depending on the waiting time and road conditions.

Motorcycle Taxi

If you prefer a quicker option, you can hire a motorcycle taxi (boda boda) from Arua directly to Kochi River. The fare is typically around 30,000 UGX. Ensure you negotiate the price before starting your journey. This option provides a more adventurous route through local paths, but be cautious as the ride can be bumpy.
