Kampala is manageable for visitors who take sensible precautions. Petty theft and pickpocketing can occur in busy areas like markets and taxi parks, so keep valuables out of sight. Avoid walking alone at night and use reputable, pre-arranged transport rather than flagging down unmarked vehicles. Stay aware of your surroundings and monitor local news for any developments, particularly around large public gatherings.
Tipping is not mandatory but is genuinely appreciated, particularly from foreign visitors. In restaurants, a tip of around 10% is standard for good service. Drivers, guides, and hotel staff who go above and beyond also appreciate a small gratuity. Tipping in Ugandan shillings is preferred by locals, as it saves them the hassle of exchanging foreign currency.
Kampala's highlights include the Kasubi Tombs (a UNESCO World Heritage site), the Uganda Museum, the striking Uganda National Mosque, and the Ndere Cultural Centre, which hosts regular performances of traditional Ugandan music and dance. The Nakasero Market is a lively spot to explore local produce, and Entebbe, just 35 kilometers (about 22 miles) away, offers botanical gardens and easy access to Lake Victoria.
The Ugandan shilling (UGX) is the official currency. While US dollars are widely accepted at hotels, national parks, and larger businesses, Ugandan shillings are needed for everyday purchases, local markets, and street food. It's best to carry small-denomination notes for tips and small transactions. Bring newer, unmarked US dollar bills as older or damaged notes may be refused at exchange bureaus.
English is one of Uganda's official languages and is widely spoken in Kampala, particularly in hotels, restaurants, and businesses. Luganda is the most widely spoken local language and serves as a common tongue across the city. Swahili is also spoken near the country's borders. Learning a few Luganda greetings will be warmly appreciated by locals.
Ugandan cuisine is fresh, filling, and flavorful. The most iconic street food is the Rolex, a chapati flatbread rolled around eggs and vegetables. Matooke (steamed green banana), groundnut stew, rolex chapati, and pork nyama choma (grilled meat) are all well worth trying. Kampala's food scene has grown significantly and ranges from humble local joints to excellent international restaurants.
A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for entry into Uganda and is checked on arrival. Malaria prevention is essential, so consult your doctor about prophylactic medication before you travel. It is also advisable to be up to date on routine vaccines and consider hepatitis A and B, typhoid, and rabies vaccinations depending on your itinerary. Drink bottled or treated water throughout your stay.
Uganda's dry seasons, from June to August and December to February, are the best times to visit. Roads are easier to navigate and wildlife sightings in national parks tend to be better. The rainy seasons run from March to May and September to November, when some roads can become difficult. Gorilla trekking and primate walks are possible year-round, though forest trails are muddier during the rains.
