White Road Lines
In Uganda, both outside and inside road lines are white.
Road MarkingUrban Residential Clues
Kampala can appear busy, with many signs, narrow unpaved roads, and many small one-storey houses. Houses are often surrounded by tall walls, commonly topped with barbed wire.
ArchitectureKampala City Centre
In central Kampala, paved roads with black-and-white curbs are a notable feature. The city centre appears richer and more built-up than the rest of the city, with many multi-storey buildings.
ArchitectureKibale Forest Road
Kibale has a small forest road that is still wide enough for car coverage. The forest is quite dense, usually not very dark, and the area is mostly flat.
VegetationWide Forest Road
A national park location includes a very wide dirt road running through dense tropical forest. It is described as the widest dirt road in Uganda outside Kampala with Street View coverage.
VegetationSavannah and Bushland
Near the northern end of Lake Albert, roads may have low dirt barriers along the sides. The western part has savannah, while the eastern parts have many small trees and bushes, with only a fairly low, wide mountain range far to the west.
VegetationKidepo Road Vegetation
On the north road in Kidepo, the southern half is somewhat forested. This can occasionally make the various mountains harder to see.
VegetationPark Street View Car
In Ugandan national parks, much of the coverage uses a Street View car similar to the one seen in Kampala, but with a black bar along the front. The car’s visibility varies greatly and is sometimes not visible at all.
VegetationHumid Forest Coverage
National park coverage consists of two small forest paths running parallel to each other. The forest appears very humid, and water drops can be seen on the camera lens in much of the coverage.
VegetationDry Western Vegetation
An area west of Lake Victoria is described as having by far the driest vegetation cover in Uganda. The grass is almost always completely dried out, and the bushes and trees along the road also typically look very dry; the terrain is quite hilly but not mountainous.
VegetationDark Forest Paths
Some coverage follows tiny forest paths. The imagery is somewhat dark, with sunlight shining through at times.
VegetationBranching Cacti
Some national park areas have brown dirt and large cacti with many branches rising almost straight upward, giving them a tree-like shape.
VegetationOpen Hilly Vegetation
An eastern stretch of path may be recognized by small palm-like trees in an open hilly field. A man in green holding a rifle may be following the photographer there.
VegetationDark Red Forest Paths
Near the Kenyan border, a national park has two covered stretches of path. The first is in forest on a fairly steep slope rising to the east, and the dirt is typically a very dark red.
VegetationNortheastern Savannah Park
A national park in northeastern Uganda mostly consists of a large savannah. Mountains are visible in most directions, with the most recognizable mountain range to the east and visible in most coverage.
TerrainKidepo Savannah Road
In Kidepo, the northern half of the north road is in savannah terrain. It can be recognized by a wide mountain to the north.

Left-Side Driving
Uganda drives on the left-hand side of the road.
Driving SideLeft-Side Driving
In Uganda, traffic drives on the left side of the road.
Driving SideCountry Domain
Uganda uses the .ug country domain.
OtherPaved Road Coverage
Outside Kampala, the only paved road with coverage can be found here. Its pavement mostly lacks the red tinge typical of many roads in the country, and it has solid white outer lines with a yellow center line.
OtherRoadside Orientation
A power line runs parallel to the road on the east side. Hills are visible to the north.
OtherNorthern Crater Lakes
In northern coverage, large water-filled craters are commonly visible. Similar craters are not found elsewhere in the country.
OtherNon-Red Dirt Area
In Queen Elizabeth National Park, north of Lake Edward, the dirt is typically brown or greyish rather than red. The clue identifies this park as one of the only places in Uganda where non-red dirt is commonly seen.
OtherNorthern Murchison Palms
Seeing these palms in Uganda strongly points to the northern parts of Murchison Falls.
OtherKampala Taxi Buses
In Kampala, taxi buses with a blue blocky pattern on the sides can be a useful city clue. This can help when the Google car is not visible.
OtherHilly Kampala
Kampala is a very hilly city. Elevation and noticeable hills are common there.
OtherRed-Tinted Ground
Soil around Kampala is typically very red. Even paved roads often show a noticeable red, purple, or pink tinge.
OtherKampala Google Car
In Kampala coverage, a distinctive Google car is visible. It is white with square side mirrors and a boxy look.
OtherKampala Google Car
A Google car is found in Uganda. It is described as unique to Kampala and its outskirts.
OtherUganda Plates
Uganda uses white front plates and yellow rear plates. The plates can be long or tall.
OtherLimited Coverage Areas
Uganda has very limited coverage, with most of it in Kampala and nearby Entebbe. The remaining coverage is in various national parks.
OtherCoverage Structure
Coverage in Uganda is limited. The guide is divided into separate sections for Kampala and the National Parks, and these sections include most of the tips needed to identify the country.
