Is Uganda Safe?

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

Uganda is generally a safe and stable country, but there are a few things to be aware of.

When in cities and towns, use the same precautions that you would anywhere else: don’t flaunt your valuables, be aware of your bag when you’re in crowded places, and don’t leave valuables in your car. Be careful when you’re walking or driving at night.

Travel cautiously if you’re going near the border with South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo, as there have been violent clashes in the area. The Ugandan government takes security in national parks seriously and has undertaken many measures to ensure the safety of tourists gorilla trekking.

Most roads are unpaved, and many are extremely potholed and bumpy. When on a Uganda safari, transfers are done in luxury 4x4s that are able to take on this terrain.
