Better still, get a local SIM card for your smart phone, load it up with a data bundle, and you’ll have more-or-less permanent access to the internet, email and various apps for next to no cost. Note that access may be slow or erratic in Uganda safari parks and other remote areas, so best to warn anxious loved ones at home or business associates that contact may be intermittent.
We recommend visiting Uganda between the months of December and February, or between June and September. These are the dry seasons in Uganda, during which you will have many more opportunities to get out and explore. This is also the best time to trek for gorillas and chimps. These months also tend to be the best time for spotting game in Uganda Savannah Parks. You will be thrilled by the number of wildlife species you’ll come in contact with during your time in this beautiful country. Read more about the best time to visit Uganda.

Uganda for long has larked in the shadow of its tumultuous past of civil wars and bad leaders, so much that many people still believe the dictator Idi Amin is still the president of Uganda, a man that died decades ago. For more than 15 years now Uganda has enjoyed peace with no war going on in her land.
Also, you may have heard Uganda experienced a small outbreak of Ebola. We‘re happy to confirm that on January 11 2023 the World Health Organization (WHO) declared “Uganda Ebola outbreak finished” (42 days without new infections).
Yes, Uganda is good for safari and a safari in Uganda is undoubtedly one of the most unique adventures you’ll experience in Africa. Uganda outshines all other Africa safari destinations in terms of primate viewing, bird watching, and safari boat cruises. It also remains a superb destination for traditional safari by vehicle.

Mobile phone coverage is generally good in the large cities and towns of Uganda, but less so in rural and mountainous areas. If you bring your mobile from home, you will enjoy international roaming – although at a substantial cost – through a local network. Far cheaper, however, particularly if you also want to make use of data services, is to bring a compatible phone with you and insert a local SIM card, which costs around 3 US dollars.
Large hotels and western-style restaurants (especially in cities) often accept credit cards, while smaller vendors do not. Make sure you have sufficient cash to cover purchases not able to be made on credit.
