The government is trying steadily to construct roads leading to Uganda tourist attraction and those connecting to neighboring countries, as we talk now the main Rwanda- Uganda high way was recently re-opened for transportation and this is highly seen as a good move in promoting tourism and easy admittance to both countries. This road stretches very well from Kigali Rwanda’s capital city to Katuna at the Uganda border about 78kms which links both countries and then liking with the Kisoro-Kabale road.
Katuna is the entry and exit point for export and import from Uganda, Rwanda and the nearby countries like Kenya. Access to these countries have been softened by the construction of this road, and this was due to the efforts of the European Union (EU) who sponsored this project with an aim of endorsing easy transportation of goods from Kenya’s Mombasa port to Rwanda and Uganda with a lot easy, but in other words this will also promote tourism sector as access to these countries will be easy.
All these countries have wonderful tourist attractions Uganda and Rwanda are among the three countries in the world housing the endangered mountain gorillas so tracking in both countries can be possible, you track the very day and then connect trough the main highway with so much ease. Tourist on self-drive road trip are going to easily link to both countries and back without passing through longer routes which can influence on fuel expenditure and time wasting leading to missing of tourist activities, or any other business or missing their departure flights back home hence a very good news for car rental/hire companies in Uganda and Rwanda.
