Rules in force · 7Thin pavements and few kerbs
- Uganda ↗Check visa and entry rules for your passport on Uganda's official immigration portal before booking.
- Uganda ↗Book a travel-clinic visit several weeks ahead; ask about malaria prevention and check whether a yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for entry and for your onward route.
- Uganda ↗Book gorilla and chimpanzee trekking permits before you fix dates; the lodge booking follows the permit, not the other way round.
- Uganda ↗Domestic light aircraft to the parks have strict baggage limits, usually soft-sided bags only and a low total weight (often around 15 kg); confirm the limit with your operator.
- Entebbe and Kampala ↗Allow 3 hours between Kampala and the airport at rush hour.
- Entebbe ↗Thin pavements and few kerbs: large suitcases go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
- Entebbe ↗Do not swim in the shallows of Lake Victoria: bilharzia (schistosomiasis) is present; take local health advice.
