How bad is traffic in Kampala?

If you are moving to Kampala, Uganda expect a good climate, a friendly population but a dusty city and traffic congestion.

My city is always congested, and very hot especially during the dry season. In Uganda we have, wet and dry weather seasons. But altogether the people are the most hospitable on the African continent. Be ready to get into different ordeals with bodaboda guys, who apparently don’t respect other road users.

Kampala city is quite busy and packed with traffic during day. The accommodations within the city are more costly than those on the outskirts of the city. Security within the heart of the city is more efficient as its more tranquil and less busy. There are lots of jobs especially for foreigners willing to invest in any kind of business approved by the city council.

Kampala city is known for having a lot of traffic and currently, the government is taking measures on how to cope with such congestion. It has so far put out rules to govern the “boda boda” riders in the city limiting them to particular areas only. This will be a problem for quite a big number of riders and their customers at large since it all comes back to beating traffic congestion in the city.

Kampala is a city with good climate, awesome city view and amazing food. Kampala is a city filled with thieves and should be careful while on streets. Kampala is full of traffic congestion and a person needs to go to where he or she wants to on time.

Kampala is a beautiful and lively city full of people with warm hearts and happy smiles. While traffic jam may be difficult to navigate, one will eventually get where they want to go. Also, Kampala’s somewhat central position allows it to celebrate all of Uganda’s different, vibrant, and well-preserved cultures.

Kampala is beautiful with lots of tall buildings. However, it’s very congested with lots of cars and boda bodas. The city center has lots of people trading and selling different goods and offering a variety of services. Most the traders sell goods ranging from second-hand products to new products.

Someone should consider carrying an umbrella as the weather varies from time to time. It can shine and rain the unexpectedly. The dress code around the city is expected to be decent enough, i.e., long dresses or skirts for females and just anything gentle enough for the males. Traffic can be hectic around the city, so, you should plan to move earlier than expected to get to your destination in time.

We always experience a lot of traffic and there city is noisy. But there is still a lot to learn from the people and the high class services are always expensive. There is diversity of languages so someone needs to understand some of the local languages like Luganda, and some other local languages in Uganda.

Kampala is a city with less planned suburban neighbourhoods and a lot of traffic in peak hours. There are plenty of transportation means that range from taxis to motor bicycles. Motor bicycles are the fastest means of transport during peak hours. Kampala central areas have potential insecurity in the downtowns needing a pedestrian to always be alert.
