From Kampala:
To get in Nimule take the bus from Kampala to Juba. Nile Coach runs a daily service from Kampala (near Gateway bus in the city centre), departing at 03:00 AM with an overnight stop in Yumbe, arriving in Nimule the next morning. A second option is to take a bus to Gulu and arrange further transport to nimule from there, but because of recent floodings in northern Uganda the road between Gulu and Nimule is terrible.
From Juba:
Take the Juba to Kampala Nile Coach or a local Minibus (4-6 hours)
Update: The Juba to Nimule portion takes 3-4 hours, but is improving with the USAID reconstruction and paving of the road. When paving is complete, the bus may take 2.5-3 hours.
The Nimule to Kampala portion is largely unchanged: 8+ hours southbound and 10-12 hours northbound (because of delays at the border.)
NOTE: You can get a Sudan Visa (northbound) for $50 at the border. No passport photos required. Disregard the process described on the US State Dept. and Sudan government websites.
