(1).    Kampala-Mubende-Fort Portal (300km). 4-5 hours drive.
(2).    Kampala-Masaka-Mbarara and Kasese is about 510km (7-8 hours drive).
This route gives you a chance to see Lake Mburo National Park, Queen Elizabeth
National Park, Rwenzori Mountain National Park and Kyambura Wildlife
Reserve, than the Kampala-Fort Portal via Mubende route.

To Sempuya gate from Fort Portal, its 52km (2 hours drive) on a murram road.
A drive to Sempuya takes you to the lower ranges of Rwenzori Mountain, hence a 4WD vehicle may  be recommended since the road is winding.
On this road, one can view the Rift Valley floor, Semuliki Wildlife Reserve, Ntandi park  headquarters and Semiliki flats.

Another alternative may be by means of a taxi or bus from Kampala to Fort Portal while at this  point, you may board a taxi for Bundibugyo and stop at Sempaya gate. However, you should avoid  leaving too late by the same means, not to exceeding 4:00pm since you might fail to get  transport back to Kampala.
