Kampala spreads over its hills with apartments in Kololo, Naguru and Bugolobi, villas in Muyenga and Munyonyo, hotels around the city and the lake, and churches and schools that build in every suburb. Entebbe, Jinja and Mbarara grow behind it. Uganda is landlocked, so everything arrives through Mombasa and the northern corridor.
Axoli Tiles supplies Ugandan importers and hardware traders from Morbi, by sea to Mombasa and then by road or rail to Kampala, eighteen to twenty-four days in all, and arranges the UNBS PVoC certificate of conformity that imports need.
Designs that suit Uganda
Marble and stone looks for apartments and hotel lobbies; stone cladding for villa facades on Kampala's hills; glossy whites for kitchens and bathrooms in a mild, wet climate; geometric patterns for churches, schools and cafes; and devotional designs for the Ugandan Indian community's homes and temples.
Shipping from Morbi to Uganda
Containers sail from Mundra to Mombasa in ten to fourteen days and continue to Kampala by truck on the northern corridor or by the standard gauge railway and road, another week or so. Uganda's PVoC programme requires a UNBS certificate of conformity before shipment, which we arrange with the importer; your agent confirms duties and VAT.
