UGANDA ~ Old Taxi Park - Kampala ~

... Great African surprise postcard...  one of the largest taxi parks in the world... it's the heart of the capital... if you like it packed and crowded this is the place to beツ... from here you can take a "matatu" to almost anywhere... amazing how travellers and drivers can still manage to find their way around...  Thanks a lot Deo and a special Big Thanks to Maick !!  ¯\_(ツ)_/ ➜(check his blog here: A Journey of Postcards)

Kampala, the capital city of Uganda is spread over ten hills and derives its name from a kiganda expression "kasozi k'empala, "the hill of antelopes". The city  is located on the Northern shores of Lake Victoria at an altitude of 1,310 meters above sea level.


Old Taxi Park Kampala Uganda is a taxi stand. Over 3000 minibuses-taxis (known as Matatu) are squeezed in this old taxi park.
