Boat booking

About us

We are a crew that represents just about every side of the boating life in Uganda— operators, captains, tourists, local guides, and friends who simply want to get out on the water. Too often we gritted our teeth over how needlessly complicated it was to find the right vessel and reach the right contact. Prices seemed to hinge on the operator’s mood or the traveller’s accent. In short, the whole process cried out for simplification.

That’s why we built Kampala Goats, a straight-talking booking portal that lets you browse for the perfect boat from the comfort of your bed, a hotel lobby, or the back of a Boda Boda. When you find your match, pay securely with credit card or Mobile Money—no haggling, no surprises, no drama.

Every listing is operated by the captain who knows that boat best. We’re the booking team, but we stay closer to the action than a typical middleman. Our local partner, Teasippin’ Safaris, brings years of Ugandan boating experience to vet each vessel and skipper. With enough notice we can even arrange transport, catering, or an entire fleet for larger groups. Just drop us a note via the contact form.

Whether you’re local, just visiting, or here on business, time on the water is the best way to experience Uganda. Maybe it’s a dawn fishing mission, a Nile safari, a sunset cruise on Lake Victoria, or simply an escape from Kampala traffic. Read each boat’s description to see what they excel at, and use the search tags to filter your perfect fit. We provide the toolkit—you bring the imagination.

Have fun,

The Kampala Goats crew
