FYI. I was born in Kampala when the population of Uganda was "9 Million"!!!!! Today it is 40+ Millions!!!! The streets were clean, no sidewalk selling of anything. No traffic like it is today. We walked from Kampala to Entebbe! Then it was a road with not one shop or any traffic. The road was a very pleasant drive of about 30 minutes with absolutely no traffic. Greenery on either side with an occasion school on the side or a shop or two on the side. My father used to be a teacher at Nakivubo school which is located right at the tower as you depart from Kampala. There are botanical gardens in Entebbe where we went for picnics, a zoo, and the shores of lake victoria where we went swimming whenever we went for a pcnic. Then you would have seen about 80% East Indians around Kampala, a few Europeans, and Ugandans. T
This is the best videos I've seen for introducing a person to a city. Most other channels seem to show chirpy tourist talking into the camera. They're usually attractive people, but not what I'm interested in watching. This is so refreshingly real and informative. Thanks so much. Will watch your others now.
I was in kampala for 2 weeks from jan 31st to feb 15th 2017, and this video reminds of my home sweet home country uganda the pearl of africa, best weather ever, nice people and best place to stay home sweet home.
This brought nostalgic feelings about home. A very positive account...even the negative bits were brought up in a non stereotypical manner. You must be a very positive person. Thank you for this video.
I'm South African and I found this lovely. Of course our brothers are still growing but I'd sure love to visit. I just love the whole African feel to the city.
Wow, some of these places don't look like that now(dated video :-)). The highway from the bridge to the airport is much wider, for one. Transport around kla is not hard, you just need to brave it to the taxi park. Ask any shop keeper, when stuck. However its a downhill slope from Kla road. It really depends where you are going too.
yes I will be able to do another later this year that is up to date. One change is a new highway that makes going to and from the airport quite a bit faster.
@@pddembowski, much appreciated, this video is probably the most informative video I've come across on Kampala. I'm planning a trip there so I found this very interesting and valuable. I'll be watching for your coming videos. Thanks again.
Thank you, Paul. Would appreciate one of you living your daily life in Kampala and offering it to VICELAND. Most people in the U.S seem to think we live in huts, thanks to viceland.
Hey Paul I'm Canadian too. Please tell more about Uganda, during your stay how hot was the weather there what was the temperature was there please tell me more about the safety what was the crime is there any gun violence or anything like this because I want to move out there to have a business..... it was a great video thank you so much for your info.
Great video, buddy, thanks for the ride. I'm almost 100% certain you were disappointed by the absence of the mega traffic jam that is usually synonymous with that road, hahaha
Hi, we were delayed a couple times during the trip, spent about 30 minutes near that new overpass they are building, can't remember the name of it. Besides that it is a pleasant ride.
About the credit cards, that is not entirely very true I always use my MasterCard whenever I travel to Uganda and the good thing is that there is no extra charge for withdrawal like they do when you use visa cards
it depends what type of Mastercard. some are good for travel and some are not. In most cases the exchange rate is terrible when they convert your purchase to Canadian or US dollars or Euros. some also add a ridiculous 2.5 percent "foreign exchange fee".
Hi Paul, thanks for the video shared, good info but wonder the prices for Uber? I am planning to visit Uganda sometimes after this summer would love any tips...by the way, are you from Canada?
Hi, it hard to give prices for UBER because the pricing depends on distance travelled, time of day, etc.. for me it was cheaper than a regular car taxi. But even better is the UBER will come to you wherever you are in town. Using the UBER app you can see the exact location of the driver as he/she is coming to pick you up.. In past trips, before I used UBER... getting a car taxi was difficult in certain parts of town.
Yes, am in Toronto, Canada area when I'm not travelling.

Right on Paul, were you in Uganda for work or vacation? I'm in Toronto as well..I actually have so many question but you may not comfortable talking or saying it here.....possible email perhaps? thanks again...cheers!
HI PAUL HOW ARE YOU? I'M WATCHING YOUR VIDEO WHEN YOU WERE GOING TO ENTEBBE AIRPORT AND YOU MENTIONED THAT THE AIRPORT HAS A LOW EXCHABGE RATE SOOO WHY CAN'T YOU EXCHANGE ALL OF YOUR MONEY INTO UGANDAN SHILLINGS? I WANT TO PLAN A TRIP TO KAMPALA UGANDA AND I WANT TO KNOW IF KAMPALA UGANDA IS SAFE FOR A SINGLE WOMAN TO WALK THE STREETS OF KAMPALA BECAUSE I WAS READING ON THE UGANDAN WEBSITE THAT UGANDA WAS UNDER SUICIDE BOMBINGS AND YOU WRER THERE IN 2017 AND I REALLY REALLY WOULD APPRECIATE IT PAUL IF YOU COULD GET BACK TO ME ON MY CONCERNS ABOUT GOING TO KAMPALA UUGANDA THANK YOU LAURA
Hi, there are many, exchange places all over Kampala. Maybe you can try a bank at one of the malls such as Acacia Mall. They usually have the exchange rate on a sign in front. Regarding safety don't wear any jewelry, watch, etc.. take only money, keys when you are out.. A cheap phone if you need to use UBER there. During the day I don't think you will get bothered by anyone, nighttime may be a bit more sketchy.
@@pddembowski HI PAUL THANK YOU FOR GETTING BACK TO ME OK I WILL CHECK OUT THE ACCIEDA MALL FOR M9NEY EXCHANGE I WILL STAY IN A HOTEL NEAR THE MALL DO YOU THINK THAT I WILL GET BOTHERED IN THAT AREA AT NIGHT? PLEASE GET BACK TO ME ON THIS THANK YOU LAURA

They are still growing just like our brothers in South Africa
I'm Tanzanian, I Really wish to be in Uganda one day, if God wishes i will be there in December this year. Uganda is my lovely city.
