need help in travelling to africa

Posted by on

hello,
My name is ahsmit and i am from india.
i want to travel to kenya , tanzania and uganda. i am planning this trip in december end.
i want to book my return ticket from delhi to nairobi. so i want to ask if there are any possible road routes from nairobi to kampala and da es salem. how can i manage routes between these three countries and how many days do i need to complete this tour. My dates would be 22nd dec. to 2nd jan.

So please help me with the best possible solution and routes .
if u think that i have less days to travel then i can remove one destination from these three.
and how much usd do you think i should carry and what would be the safety measures required.

hoping for the best response.

regards

You may get answers as to how to tour Africa from India here, but as you observed when you chose your Forum, this website attracts people whose expertise is in travel in Europe.

In all the years I have participated here I do not think that there has been a previous question about travel in Africa from India.

You may do better asking on a website which specialises more in what you are looking for, such as Lonely Planet or Tripadvisor.

I agree that other forums are probably better for information on Africa, but as a starting point, you can use https://www.viamichelin.com/ for driving-time estimates and Rome2Rio for rough information on buses and trains (if any). Be sure to follow train- and bus-company links provided by Rome2Rio for more precise schedule and price information.

It appears that Nairobi to Kampala will mean a full day (10 or more hours) on a bus, and Nairobi to Dar es Salaam will take substantially longer. Doubling back to Nairobi twice makes this look like quite a slog. If I were the traveler, I'd pick either Kampala or Dar es Salaam and look for an interesting place to stop more or less along the way. Still three destinations, just not the three originally planned.

Well thanx for the reply..
I'll probably change the ticket to kampala then..or will make a multi city ticket from Delhi - kampala then Dar es Salem to Delhi or so.
And will search more on the routes on other forums was well.
