The International Airport Entebbe is the best airport to land in Uganda. It is about 40 km from Kampala. There are many international flight connections here. You can get to the city by taxi or shuttle buses that are available directly at the airport. Be sure to clarify the prices in advance to avoid unexpected fees.

The local currency in Uganda is the Ugandan Shilling (UGX). Credit cards are accepted in larger cities and more expensive hotels, but not everywhere. It is advisable to have cash, especially in rural areas. ATMs are common in Kampala, before you travel to rural areas.

In Uganda, certain vaccinations, such as against yellow fever, are recommended or required. A travel insurance is essential to be covered against unexpected medical costs. Check your vaccinations and consult your doctor before the trip to discuss possible health risks.

To buy a SIM card in Uganda, visit local stores like MTN, Airtel, or Africell. Prices are affordable, and you often get a suitable package. Bring your passport with you, as it is required. SIM cards are easily available in most cities, so don’t hesitate to ask for help.
