Dirt road from Mpigi is rutted so give yourself enough time.
Ferry says they take 12 vehicles and 300 passengers. The one we took had 12 cars/trucks, 1 utility trike, our big GSA, about 10 small motos, and about 300 ppl and it was packed!
If motorcycle, pull up to motorcycle line on the right (maybe ask if you can load ahead of the other bikes).
Go to pavilion to the right by the barrier and register your vehicle and passenger details. They mark your hand with a black marker.
On arrival at Entebbe side it's chaos. Very steep ramp down into a huge puddle (3 m x 3 m x 20 cm deep). It's a gauntlet with vehicles about to board lined up along the right of a narrow and rough dirt track with stalls on either side. Repeated jams/gridlock at junctions. Probably took us 20 minutes from disembarkation to escape from port area.
It's free.
