How to Get to Kampala

Air Access

This modern airport serves many international destinations and is connected to the capital by a well-maintained road. The trip from Entebbe Airport to our hotels takes about 45 minutes under normal traffic conditions. Booking a hotel in Kampala before arriving in Entebbe ensures an optimal welcome.

Transport from the Airport

Several transport options are available from Entebbe Airport. Official taxis, locally known as "special hires," provide direct and safe service to the city. Shuttle services are also available, along with public transport options for tighter budgets. Our hotels can arrange private transfers from Entebbe to ensure a smooth arrival, with transparent and fixed pricing.

When to Visit Kampala: Climate and Seasons

Weather Conditions

Kampala enjoys a temperate tropical climate thanks to its altitude and proximity to the equator. Temperatures remain fairly constant year-round, generally ranging between 16°C and 28°C. This climate stability makes Kampala a pleasant destination in any season. Our hotels offer variable rates depending on Kampala's tourist seasons.

Recommended Travel Periods

The best times to visit Kampala are during the two dry seasons: December to February and June to August. These months provide ideal conditions for sightseeing and excursions in nearby national parks. Rainfall is less frequent, making travel and visits easier. Booking a hotel in Kampala during these periods ensures an optimal trip.

However, the rainy seasons (March–May and September–November) also have their advantages: lush vegetation, lower prices, and fewer tourists. In an urban setting like Kampala, rainfall generally does not significantly hinder activities. Our hotels offer preferential rates during these months.

Practical Tips

Whatever the season, it is advisable to bring light clothing for daytime and a sweater or light jacket for the evenings. A raincoat or umbrella may be useful during Kampala’s wetter months.
