For someone who is travelling to Uganda, this information is more important to know. It majorly highlights how you can easily get from Entebbe Airport to your next location in the country.

Please know that, Entebbe Airport is the next stopping or entry point for those who are coming to Uganda by plane. Here we describe the main three transport options you can use to exit the Airport successfully.

Use of a Taxicab

Every Airport around the world has the Airport cab service. It is the same for the EBB Airport. This transportation service is cheap and quick. Local drivers use saloon cars and minivans to offer the service. There are registered, numbered and governed by cooperative. Cabs at EBB are identified by a yellow horizontal strip marking with a word “Airport taxi”. There is a specific parking for these cars, but it’s always good to book one in advance. Whenever there are many flights arriving, the Airport is crowded.

So, you may fail to get a cab if you didn’t reserve it in advance. This transport option is perfect for those who fancy a onetime transfer. These cars are available to take you to any location in Uganda at a reasonable price. It is only for private Airport transfers. You can use it for Airport pickup or drop off. The cost for each cab depends on where you are going.

Get your car right at the Airport and drive to your next destination.  You make payment for the rental on arrival. At the end of the rental period, you are free to drop it at the Airport again or a hotel in Entebbe.

Public transport

Public transport is cheap but it doesn’t exist at the Entebbe Airport. If you want to use it, then you will need to transfer from the Airport up to Kitooro and get a matatu. You can also go to the bus park opposite the K hotel Entebbe, this boarding point has well organized taxi drones that transport people to Kampala at 5000 UGX per person.

How do you pay?

Payment in Uganda is mainly by cash. Most service providers don’t have machines that charge credit cards. So, it may be hard to use the payment by Visa or MasterCard option.

Then for those who wish to use shared Airport shuttle bus, it is no longer existing at the Entebbe Airport. Even the Uber service is very had to get. Uber is very common in the Kampala city.
