On 28th February, 2026, we are starting off our 5th #JoeWalker national road safety awareness walk - Kampala to Hoima.
Here are some facts about Hoima, the Oil City.
It’s a gateway to the Albertine Graben for oil exploration and tourism.
It’s also home to the beautiful Hoima City Stadium - one of the host venues for AFCON 2027- as well as Kabale airport, Uganda’s second international airport.
In the last 10 years, Hoima (Bunyoro region) has registered a dramatic improvement of road network with hundreds of kilometers of either newly constructed roads or upgraded roads.
The improved road network, has seen enhanced connectivity but also significant road safety challenges.
