Questions & Answers about Traveling from Kampala to Entebbe

With a relaxing Daytrip private car transfer, the journey takes just 50 minutes from door to door. A friendly, professional driver will safely escort you to your next destination and offer local knowledge en route to elevate your travel experience.

The major cities nearest to the Entebbe International Airport include, of course, Entebbe, as well as Bunono, Kisubi, and, most popular among visitors, Kampala, which is less than an hour's drive away. Sightseeing along the way with a Daytrip transfer could feature a tour of the Wamala tombs or Mpanga forest.

Entebbe is easily reached from Kampala in under an hour with a private driving service, making it a great option for travelers short on time who wish to explore more of the Western region of Uganda in just one day.

Driving is by far the fastest option from Kampala to Entebbe, and a private car service with Daytrip will get you door-to-door in just 50 minutes. Taxis are available on this route, but the taxi prices in Uganda can fluctuate wildly during the busiest times.

The best option for an Ebb airport transfer is a Daytrip private transfer, offering comfortable and convenient transport right from your Kampala accommodation to the airport. This allows for more control over your departure time, which may help you avoid delays on the bus due to departures during heavy traffic.

The bus from Kampala on the Northern shores of Murchison Bay to Entebbe on the Lake Victoria peninsula takes around 1 hour and 10 minutes, although visitors should note that additional transport to and from the bus stations might increase their travel time.

Excellent service for transfers in Thailand

“I was unsure about this company but a few good reviews on Trip Advisor made me take the chance. I am so happy that we did. We needed a ride from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai. Our driver Saksun was an excellent driver - it's not a long distance to drive (by Texas standards!) but the road is challenging and there are a lot of places where improvements to the road are being made. It took around 3 hours with a stop at a place with very clean bathrooms, very interesting hot springs and a place to get a snack and cold drinks. Saksun had a vehicle that was fantastic for this type of drive - a very comfortable ride indeed and was obviously well maintained and very clean. I highly recommend this company. I used to post on trip advisor as "lakekariba" but got out of the habit of doing so. This company was so easy to use and the result was so enjoyable that I felt that the company Daytrip and the driver Saksun had earned our trust and a glowing review. Gillian and Ted Pearsall Austin, Texas”

Excellent option to get to Vienna to Budapest!

“We used Daytrip to travel between Budapest and Vienna with a 2 hour stop for lunch in Bratislava. Our driver Zsombor arrived on time at our hotel in Budapest and was very friendly and informative throughout our trip. His vehicle was roomy and clean and he was kind enough to provide us with some bottled water for the trip. Our quick visit stop in Bratislava was very nice as well. He gave us plenty of time to explore the city and have lunch before meeting him again when it was time to head for Vienna. Daytrip provided us with a happy and trouble free transfer between Budapest and Vienna. Many thanks to your team and especially to your driver Zsombor!”

Great communication with an actual person! They will take you ANYWHERE, No pre-set routes to choose from!

“Last minute plan change and Daytrip was our last resort so I chatted with them and had an immediate response from a real person, best situation ever. Never used Daytrip before but the reviews were incredible so we took the chance and booked a driver at like 11-12pm and by 7am the next morning when we woke, they found us a driver and the driver had already texed us making contact! Very impressed and will definitely use them again. We went from Dubrovnik, Croatia to Tivat, Montenegro.”

“Andreas did a great job picking us up from Pireaus Cruise Port and taking us to our rental in Spata. The three of us had been on a long cruise and had 9 pieces of luggage. He arrived in an appropriate vehicle and loaded and unloaded all of it. We are very happy with out decision to book with Daytrip.”
