The experience
I’ll admit, I was a little nervous stepping out into the warm air at Entebbe Airport. It’s always that weird mix of excitement and “wait, where do I go now?” But there was my name on a sign, and the driver (I think his name was Joseph?) just grinned and waved like he’d been waiting for me all day. He helped with my bag, heavier than I remembered, and handed me a cold bottle of water. The air smelled faintly sweet, maybe from the rain earlier? Hard to say. Anyway, it felt good to just sit back after the flight.
The drive from Entebbe to Kampala isn’t long: maybe an hour or so depending on traffic (and wow, traffic can be something here). Joseph chatted about the city, pointed out Lake Victoria shimmering off to our left. At one point he slowed down so I could see some kids playing football by the roadside. He said they play every afternoon unless it rains hard. There were bursts of laughter from them that cut through the hum of cars. I tried asking about some words in Luganda and probably butchered every one: Joseph laughed but didn’t make me feel silly.
I didn’t really expect much from an airport transfer, honestly. But having someone local who actually seemed happy to share little bits about life here made it less like just “getting from A to B.” It was late but still busy outside: people selling fruit under flickering lights, boda bodas weaving past us. The car was clean and cool inside, which felt like such a relief after all those hours in transit. When we finally pulled up in Kampala, I realized I’d stopped worrying somewhere along the way.
