East Africa is great, but avoid Kampala Coach Bus!

by DanitK

I had a fabulous time touring in Kenya and Uganda, but the Kampala Bus Coach bus ride that I took from Kampala, Uganda to Nairobi, Kenya was literally the worst bus ride I have ever taken in my life...and I've traveled across 5 continents by bus! Despite my temptation to tell you about the entire wretched experience, let me put the worst part of it to you, so that you are not tempted to take a ride from them ever. Seriously. The ride is supposed to take 12 hours max, which to any sane traveler, is a bit of a stretch, but still manageable. The big problem? The ride went from the expected 12 hours to a grueling 20 hour journey from the hell. I should have known something was wrong when the bus pulled up to the station in Kampala with dim headlights and mechanics working on what appeared to be a major fuse box by the driver's seat (I'm no car expert, but when the lights and engine won't...

Motorbike Taxis

by Suet

My husband told me specifically *DON'T get on a motorbike or in a matatu* so I disobeyed and did both. The bikes are reasonably well maintained, except I had a couple of back tyre punctures on the rough roads between my lodging and the main road.Having been a Hot Biker Chic in the 60's I hadn't been on the back of a bike since then as my Dad explained about ending up as strawberry jam on the motorway. Now, my only option was to get on the back of a bike or walk. Actually, I could have got on the back of a bicycle, but the seat was a metal grille, not suited to my bum. Fortunately, everyone in Kenya has a mobile phone now, so I could order my bike by phone. However, they have such a thing as Kenyan Time which means they don't stick to it. Your Taxi Driver could be on his way to pick you up at 8.30am, but be a couple of hours away, possibly picking up a fare on the way. A Reliable Driver...

EasyCoach

by Suet

I was recommended by my hosts to use EasyCoach to travel from Ugunja to Nairobi. At first I was most apprehensive but soon found out that EasyCoach was safer than I thought. They have secure stages at Kericho, Kisumu, Nakuru and of course Nairobi, in that they have dedicated areas with a locked waiting area and shops and restaurants for comfort stops. The guards won't allow you on the bus unless you have a valid ticket and there is someone guarding the luggage compartment of the bus whenever it is stationary. The cost of the one way ticket from Ugunja to Nairobi was 1200.00Ksh which is about £10.00 GBP. The driver went quite slowly and the trip took around 7 hours with all the stages. This meant that we were not rushing about at speed and it felt a lot safer. The bus itself was quite comfortable with seats that went back and sealtbelts. There is no aircon and if the radio is too loud,...

Bus travel around East Africa

by eguana

I would take Kampala coach over Akamba. Akamba used to be the best but lately their buses are old and keep getting spoilt. About insecurity it does exist but not so much of it. There were a couple of robberies on night buses but security has been stepped up. Both these bus companies also have a good safety record and have only reported a few fatal accidents.Another advantage of the daytime bus is the scenery, the route passes through the great rift valley and you also get to see flamongoes @ Lake Nivasha as well as Lake Vioctoria and the river Nile.If you really wanna fly, there are some budget carriers liek air Uganda and fly 540 which are cheaper than the big airlines

Public Transport

by Suet

Hello. I can only answer for Kenya as I lived there for three years and visit frequently. The last time was November 2009. The general condition of Nairobi has improved greatly. The street families and street boys have been taken to churches or back to the villages and the street hawkers have been given a market in which to trade which means the streets are less crowded and it is safer to walk around Westlands and Sarit Centre, although I would never walk in Uhuru park without an escort. The potholes have all been filled in and there are now rules about how many people can be on board a matatu, everyone should have a seat. There are also some lady touts and lady drivers which means less aggression and slightly safer driving.The main road from Nairobi to Mombasa was 75% dual carriageway which is a marvellous improvement. The lorries are regulated with regard to tonnage so that they don't...

Our Guides

by easterntrekker

We chose MICS from the reviews and recommendations we read online. We have only good things to say about them. They offered a very competitive price and delivered our trip exactly as promised.We met Moses from MICS the evening before our trip in our hotel lobby.He’s an interesting man . He is Masai and showed us scars on his leg from a lion he killed by spear to fulfill his tradition.Our guide, Samuwell is also Masai. He’s soft spoken but a very talented and caring man. We were often amazed that he could spot even the most well hidden animal.We felt very well taken care of for the entire trip and would definetly travel with this company again.

Arriving at the Airport

by easterntrekker

Jomo Kenyatta .This is the largest and busiest airport in east Africa. The airport is situated 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) from Nairobi's City Center.Check in was easy and I was relieved. I was concerned as my name was miss-spelled on my ticket.Immigration desks at the ground floor where passengers are cleared before they proceed to the departure lounge in the first floor via escalators or lifts. Happily they didn’t seem to notice when they looked at my passport and all went smoothly! This could have caused some problems for sure.The airport is clean with three restaurants, and Internet service at one of the money exchanges for $2.00 for 15 minutes. There are several duty free outlets selling liquor and souvenirs. The only drawback is there is no air conditioning and it was very warm!!

Jeep rental for Safari

by CoKo74

Self driving is possible, but you can also book a car with driver. My husband is a Kenyan and I'm Swiss, we always travel till Narok with driver and from there alone direction Masai Mara. We book just with www.jeepkenya.com Mr. Muriuki coz the cars are in perfect condition and the driver is always very trusty. I would say real European standard! Serious and in time, what you see is what you get.

The lunatic express

by sphynxxs

Ever since the old days of colonialism, the train connecting Nairobi and Mombasa is nicknamed the lunatic express, and while it is not really lunatic to travel the slowly winding train from the highlands to the coast, there are definitely faster ways. However, this is about the train experience, an experience that does not seem to differ too much from the old days as modernism is alien to the Rift Valley Railways...Travellers will enjoy comfort, very average food but friendly service. Don´t expect anything to move fast, least of all the train. The big question is when it might actually arrive at its destination - my personal experience range from 2-4 hours delay. But if you are in no hurry and like trains, you should board the train for sure.There are two berth cabin in the first and four berth cabins in the second class. Third class means sitting space only and unless you are eager for...
