Safety in Uganda

Hi Christine

I have been living in Kampala since a bit more than a year now, and prior to that was a frequent visitor. I can share my experiences, that especially he areas of Kololo, Nakasero, Naguru, etc are quire safe and you can move around at any time of the day / night.

If you are moving around in a car, then you have nothing to fear. WHile if you are moving around on a bike / walking, obviously you need to excercise usual caution.

I have moved around on work, as late as between midnight to early morning, and have not encountered any issues.

I can also mention about Mbuya and Bugolobi as quite safe, apart from Kampala road or Entebbe road.

Parts of Entebbe are quite dark but nevertheless I have not encountered any reason to worry.

Hope this elaborates and clarifies.

Hi Christine
Just move blindly to kampala. It is the safest place I have found in East Africa after Rwanda.

Police most friendly and co-operative.

All type of foods available. Clubs and Nightlife is good as well.

Good Schools and Corporates.

Climate just awsome. I have stayed with my family and I do miss Kampala a lot.

Best of Luck.
