Kenya's main export to its neighbour: transit

Uganda is landlocked, and most of its sea cargo arrives through Mombasa. The road climbs from the coast to Nairobi, crosses the Rift Valley through Nakuru and Eldoret, and reaches the Uganda border at Malaba or Busia before the final stretch through Jinja to Kampala.

At the border

Malaba and Busia both operate as one-stop border posts, where Kenyan and Ugandan officials work side by side. Queues still build up, so we plan crossing times and make sure documents are ready before the truck arrives.

Inside Uganda

From the border we deliver to Kampala, the industrial areas around Namanve and Mukono, or onward to towns across Uganda.

FAQ

Mombasa to Kampala: common questions

Ask us anything else about this route by phone or WhatsApp.

Do you cross at Malaba or Busia?

Both are one-stop border posts between Kenya and Uganda. We choose the crossing based on queues, the cargo and the final destination in Uganda.

Where is my cargo cleared for Uganda?

Under the EAC Single Customs Territory, transit cargo for Uganda is generally declared at the port of entry, which reduces stops along the way. We'll confirm the process for your shipment.
