    Umm..it depends on which one you take, if you take a luxury coach which will be mroe expensive, but it will be safer, the others, i think u shud just try and avoid it.

    Sure it is safe the last time i checked well i leave here so i know the best way to travel to Kampala is by night is so much face but if u love nature landscapes well travel by day .Some of the booking company that i trust especially if ur a tourist include Easy coach on +254-020 210711/2, Akamba public bus services on +254-020556062/650834 or Email akamba@skyweb.co.ke or Eldoret express on +254-0206766886/5 all the best.

    Nairobi conjures most of the romance and adventure of its colourful colonial days and is a good place to spend your holiday, learn more with hotelbye . One of the things worth see may be the Nairobi's rich history and tribal culture is produced your in its exemplary museums and the Karen Blixen Museum in one of many museum many visited. Also in Nairobi you can visit Nairobi National Park. The park is just a rhino refuge and shields more than 50 of the significantly jeopardized creatures. Along with the rhinos, visitors could see: lions, gazelles, buffaloes, warthogs, cheetahs, zebras, giraffes, and ostriches, and more than 400 species of chickens have now been recorded in the wetlands and here, the Nairobi Safari Walk is a popular appeal providing animal lovers the chance to place wildlife on base, and walking paths weave around the location known as Hippo Pools. Nairobi is definitely a town where whole the household can enjoy.

    It's relatively safe - the question is "is it comfortable"

    You should look into the Luxury busses that travel to Kampala which are much better than your average bus

    Have fun and be safe!

    Yes. Statistically, it is pretty safe.

    But if you are of a nervous disposition, the way they drive might scare you. And if you get bus sick in a Western country, be aware it will three times as bad in East Africa, given the state of the roads.

    It is safe, but try to board a bus that travels during the day. That way you will also enjoy seeing the country on your way.
