Local Insider Tips
- •Use SafeBoda for boda-bodas — registered riders with helmets, far safer than flagging one down
- •Set up mobile money or carry cash; many places don't take cards
- •English is an official language, so getting around verbally is easy
- •Negotiate and agree prices for boda-bodas before riding if not using an app
- •Allow extra time for Kampala traffic — short distances can take a long time
