The highly anticipated #RoastAndRhyme Nyam on the Nile kicks off today, promising an exciting weekend of music, food, and adventure from July 5th to 7th and as thousand make their way to Jinja, navigating traffic efficiently is essential. Here's all you need to know;
Kayunga - Njeru Road
Avoid the usual traffic jams by taking the scenic Mukono-Kayunga-Njeru road. Here’s how you can get there:
From Mukono: Head northwards to Kalagi, about 19 km from Mukono. You can access this route via the Jokas-Namanve road. From Kalagi: The road continues northeast to Kayunga (33 km) and then turns south to Njeru (47 km), totaling approximately 94 km.
Additional Access Points: You can connect to this road through Gayaza, Kira, and Namugongo. For instance, from Namugongo, you can drive through Misindye-Bukerere-Kiyunga to Kalagi, then continue on the Mukono-Kayunga road to Jinja.

Another great alternative is the Mukono-Katosi road. Here’s how to navigate this route:
From Kampala: Drive through Jokas-Namanve-Mukono road to Mukono town.
Connecting to Katosi Road: From Mukono, take the Mukono-Kyetume-Katosi-Nyenga road at the Wantoni stage. This road stretches 22 km through Kyetume and Kisoga.
