I never put my luggage in the back of a cab if taking one because all of a sudden all these charges came up to get your luggage out. If you are willing and daring take the Matatus, it was the main way I got around. They are cheap... but there is one problem if you are starting in Kampala.... The Matau Park is insane and very over crowded. So, good luck finding your Matatu. If you are riding into the city form any of the outskirt villages it shouldn't cost you more than 700 shillings. I ahve paid hundreds less but it has been a couple of years so I'm adding on my own inflation over a 1000 and there is a big problem. If you are fat get used to it before you go because you will be called Biggie. If you are white I hope you are aware of it because they will holler Mzungu(white person) at you regarless of how you dress.
