Shipping From Australia to Uganda, Delivered to Kampala and Beyond
Send boxes, household goods and machinery from anywhere in Australia to Uganda. Sea cargo lands at Mombasa and travels on by road to Kampala, Entebbe, Jinja, Mbarara, Gulu and towns across Uganda. Air freight is booked when it cannot wait.
From Perth to Kampala by Sea and Road
Uganda is landlocked, so sea cargo cannot sail straight there. It lands at Mombasa in Kenya and continues by road along the Northern Corridor into Uganda.
For small, urgent or perishable items, air freight is booked as needed and takes days rather than weeks.
Door-to-door estimates from the day your cargo leaves Perth. Sea freight departs monthly, so allow for the wait until the next sailing. Clearance, border processing, port congestion and public holidays can add time.
Collected or dropped off
We collect from your address, or you bring your cargo to our Canning Vale depot, where it is checked and recorded.
Monthly sailing
Our team prepares the export paperwork and your goods leave Perth on the next sailing.
Landed in Kenya
The container arrives at Mombasa, the start of the Northern Corridor into Uganda.
By road to Uganda
Your cargo travels inland by road, and you get updates along the way.
Cleared and delivered
We handle customs clearance and deliver to the consignee’s address.
