Uganda Safety - Is it Safe to Travel in Uganda?


For those wondering about Uganda safety – is it safe to travel to Uganda? While it has had its fair share of issues, Uganda is one of the safest destinations in Southern Africa, with plenty to see and do and immediate danger to tourists if travelling within a group. To make sure that your trip is happy and problem free, keep these tips in mind when travelling to Uganda:

•    Petty crime can be an issue in some of the cities of Uganda, so be careful to keep valuables out of sight to avoid any problems.
•    Be careful on game drives and do not ever get out of the car unless the guide has given the go ahead. Do not ever attempt to approach or feed any wild animal you come across, no matter how safe it may look.
•    Avoid travelling to northern Uganda, where the Lords Resistance Army is in occupation, as well as areas near borders of Sudan, DRC or other countries at war.
