Getting To Our Stables
From Kampala
Take the main Kenya highway towards Jinja. Before crossing the Owen Falls dam just outside Jinja turn left in Njeru at the road sign-posted to Kayunga. We also have a reflective sign just before the turn off, saying "Horse Riding Next Left". This is the last left turn before you would cross the dam. Approximately 4 kilometres along Kayunga road you will pass through Naminya Trading Centre. Look out for our sign near the bottom of the hill. Then turn right and follow the unsealed road for approximately 1 kilometre to the end.
Kampala Transport Options
Adventure Activity Shuttle Service - There is a shuttle service run by Nile River Explorers rafting that runs from Kampala to Jinja and return everyday. Leaves Kampala at 7am and then the return leg departs Jinja at 6pm. It is only available to clients who do adventure activities in Jinja or have accommodation booked with NRE. The seats on the bus need to be pre-booked by us. You also need to catch a boda boda (motorcycle taxi) the last few kilometres. (boda boda should be no more than 2000 Ush one way) from the turn off at Njeru taxi stage.

PLEASE NOTE - Not all boda boda drivers or Taxi drivers in Jinja know where our premises are.

We can also organise taxi drivers that know our premises to pick you up, and ensure you are not ripped off. If you are running late please call and let us know if possible as we de-saddle horses an hour after a no-show booking time.
