⚠️Tips & warnings
Book your Entebbe transfer through the hotel exclusively in advance — the airport road carries officially documented carjacking incidents, especially in the evening.
📍 On the ground
Getting around: Uber and Bolt run efficiently within the city. Traffic is choking at peak hours (always budget an extra hour). Transfer from Entebbe airport (37km) should be pre-arranged through your hotel, not a street taxi.
Halal & prayer places: The country's highest — Old Kampala around the National Mosque and the Kibuli quarter brim with declared halal restaurants and documented Islamically slaughtered meat.
Local safety: Same as country →
Cost figures: 2026 prices: Uganda National Mosque tour ~$10 (includes the minaret climb), the Uganda National Museum ~$5, downtown hotels $50–150/night, in-city Uber $2–6.
