We highly recommend getting to Kayak the Nile via the free Kampala – Jinja shuttle, Pineapple Express or private hire as these make better use of your time, are more convenient and much safer.
If you want to come via public transport please follow these instructions:
- Get to the Amber Court roundabout, Jinja – this roundabout is on the main Kampala – Kenya road and your driver should know it. It is the main roundabout for Jinja.
- From Amber Court roundabout you need to go to Nile River Explorers campsite, Bujagali. This is best done on a boda (motorcycle taxi) and all the drivers should know where it is. Expect to pay 4000 or 5000 USH for a boda from the roundabout to the campsite.
- In Bujagali, you are looking for a large yellow gate, go through this gate, Kayak the Nile is immediately on you right.
