The country spans approximately 800 kilometers from north to south and 500 kilometers from east to west. This relatively compact size means that major destinations are accessible within reasonable driving distances, though road conditions and speeds vary significantly.
Driving from Kampala to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park takes 8-10 hours, while Murchison Falls National Park is about 5-6 hours from the capital. Queen Elizabeth National Park can be reached in 6-7 hours. Many travelers opt for domestic flights between safari destinations to maximize time for wildlife viewing rather than road travel.
