By air
If you are flying into Uganda we can help organise your flights and getting you from Uganda’s main airport Entebbe (EBB), to the river.
If you are planning to bring your own kayak to Uganda we highly recommend flying with Brussels airlines who as a special arrangement graciously let those who book through Kayak the Nile fly with their kayaks for free on top of the already generous two 23kg standard hold luggage bags.
Over the years we have collected a set of taxi drivers that we trust and that if needed can carry boats from the airport (the largest car can carry 4 people boats and luggage comfortably). We prefer to use these drivers as they not only safe and reliable but are much cheaper than the airport taxis and know exactly where Bujagali and The Hairy Lemon Island are too. For peace of mind we will notify you when the taxi booking is confirmed and make sure that you have our Uganda phone number in case you are delayed or have any issues.
Please be aware that we do have to charge a small $5 USD fee for taxi bookings.If you want to take advantage of the flights deal with Brussels and / or arranging for one of our trusted drivers to get you from the airport. You can use our flight contact form, and to book an airport pick up either drop us an email or use our standard contact form on our website.
