Getting to Kampala
Once
you have reached Entebbe Airport, you can hire a private taxi to take
you to the capital city, Kampala. This will cost around 40,000 Ugandan
Shillings. If you require to spend the night in Kampala before
hitting the road, we recommend that you visit the Equatorial Hotel,
(City Centre). For those on a budget, Backpackers, (Natete Road,
Lunguja).

Getting to Masindi
The bus from Kampala to Masindi leaves at 7.30am from the main Post Office on Kampala Road, and costs 10,000 Ug Shillings, roughly US$4, and takes around 4 hours. However, you can get yourself down to the new taxi park by private taxi or 'boda boda' (motorbike) and ask for the 'matatu', (or public minibus/taxis) which leaves regularly throughout the day to Masindi. It will travel a little faster than a coach, (around 3-4 hours). Using either of these means will take you into the small town of Masindi, and you can take either
1) a private cab to the hotel at around 3,000 Ug Sh 2) a 'boda boda' (motorbike) at 1,000 Ug Sh 3) the back of a bicycle for a bargain 300 Sh. The later is by far the most enjoyable, yet the most unpractical if you happen to be inconvenienced by 2 heavy suitcases, a handbag, 2 children, a goat.....
