Things to consider

1. You may use cabs and motorcycles(commonly known as boda bodas to get around town on your own. You may use the taxify or uber app for a cab or the safeboda app for a motorcycle.

2. Local domestic carriers have domestic flights to destinations of no interest to tourists. Many of the major parks have airstrips and your tour operator can organize chartered flights but at a very high price.


3. Local time is GMT+3

4. Driving is on the left side. Visitors without experience driving on Ugandan roads are advised to hire local drivers.

5. Kampala is a generally safe place to be but just keep the same caution you would just like in any other place. Keep your car windows up and doors closed especially in traffic jam to avoid your phone from being snatched. Hold your bag from the front not back and while walking on the street be wary of boda boda riders who may snatch your bag. Don’t wear expensive jewellery on the streets.

6. English is the official language in Uganda.

7. A certificate of yellow fever Vaccination is required to enter the country. All visitors should take anti-malarials before entering the country. Always use a mosquito net at bedtime.

8. It is advised to drink bottled rather than tap water.

9. Tipping is not standard practice at hotels and restaurants but is appreciated.

10. The Uganda shillings is the unit of currency. Please exchange your money at the forex bureau on arrival to easily get your way around Ugandan hotels and restaurants.

11. Travelers cheques are not widely accepted outside Kampala.

12. Uganda can be visited anytime though mountain hikes, gorilla trekking, forest walks and countryside roads can be challenging during the rainy season. The best time to travel is during the dry season. (June to August and December to February)
