Uganda Distance Table

Uganda Distance Table

Uganda driving distances and charts in a country that has a road network best described as average.

Distances in Uganda are not vast but due to the nature of the road network and the structure of certain roads, a journey of 100 kilometres can take anything from a few hours to three-quarters of a day.

To calculate approximate driving times, the speed limits in Uganda are as follows; 100km/h on highways, 80 km/h on rural roads and 50 km/h in urban areas. Truth be told, one is unlikely to maintain those speed limits for any amount of time; we would calculate using the following; 70km/h on highways and 50 km/h on rural roads, this will result in better timing between destinations and town.

Uganda does have a few new roads all built by the "Chinese", these are good roads and one can drive at higher speeds (within speed limits), but there is always a but, people and animals on the roads and on the sides of roads will slow you down. This is Africa after all.

Playing around on Google Maps is always recommended, AND, a few areas have been covered by Google Street View, check out Lake Mburo National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Kibale National Park, Murchison Falls National Park as well as Kampala and Entebbe (a few more have been added recently).

  • A Special Gorilla Family

    This year marks the twentieth anniversary of a very special family, the Mubare family group in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in the south western corner of Uganda.

    They are, of course, gorillas. Why are they so special?

    The capital of the pearl of Africa is booming.

    Like many other African cities, a burgeoning middle class enlarged by a stable Ugandan government and consistent economic growth over the last two decades has created a dynamic city.

  • Bwindi Safari Experience Uganda

    Called "The Pearl of Africa" by Winston Churchill and in more recent memory the scene of great civil war under the mad dictator Idi Amin, it throws up many images.

  • White Water Rafting Uganda

    The best Whitewater rafting on the Nile River adventure ever started from the Nile River Explorers backpackers in Jinja.

    We were given a very thorough safety briefing by our guides, which included multiple compulsory practice flips in the boat.

  • Uganda the Pearl of Africa

    There are certain magical names in Africa, names which conjure up images of mystery, of exotic fauna and flora and even of a certain danger.

    I had the pleasure of visiting one of these places last year; the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in the southwest corner of Uganda, home to troupes of mountain gorillas.

  • Popular Uganda Destinations

    When I was a younger man, the name of Uganda was evocative of the dangers and thrills of Africa, the superlative wildlife, the psychopathic dictator Idi Amin, the raid on Entebbe and the multiple civil wars.
