Driving From Entebbe Airport/Kampala to Sipi Falls

Driving from Kampala or Entebbe airport to Sipi falls is one of the most enchanting road trips in Uganda. It requires about 5-6 hours in a private car. If you hope to have this adventure, make sure to drive very early in the morning when Kampala to Jinja road is traffic-free.
