On 27 September 2026, the Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities, together with the Uganda Tourism Board, celebrated World Tourism Day in Mbale City, putting the adventure and beauty of Eastern Uganda on full display. That same week, the Uganda Wildlife Authority opened all national parks to Ugandans at no entry fee. For anyone who has been waiting for a reason to travel, this is it. 

Tourism matters far beyond just taking a holiday in of itself. Every visit supports guides, lodges, restaurants, craft makers and drivers, creating jobs and income in communities across the country. It funds the protection of the wildlife and landscapes that make Uganda special, and it brings people together to share stories, food and culture. But tourism only works when people can actually reach the places worth visiting, and that begins with safe, reliable, and fairly priced transport. 

That is where SafeBoda, through SafeCar, comes in. Whether you are a Ugandan planning a weekend away or a visitor landing at Entebbe International Airport for the first time, SafeCar makes the journey as good as the destination, with affordable fares for airport pickups, intercity trips and scheduled rides in Kampala and beyond.

Choose between comfortable 3-seater and 5-seater options, including XL rides for families, groups and travellers with extra luggage. Every ride comes with a professional driver and a strict no-negotiation policy, so the fare you see is the fare you pay. No bargaining after a long flight, no guessing, and no surprises at the end of the trip.

Travelling in a new place is far easier when you know help is close. SafeBoda, Uganda's leading ride-hailing platform, offers 24/7 customer support, so if your plans change or you need a hand, someone is always there to assist.

The best part is that you can sort it all out before you arrive. Download the SafeBoda app from the App Store or Google Play, schedule your trips in advance and land with your first ride already waiting. From Kampala to wherever your journey takes you, getting there is one less thing to worry about.

Uganda is ready to be explored. Discover Uganda. Ride SafeCar.
