Uganda is generally safe for tourists, especially in popular destinations. However, itβs important to follow local advice, stay aware of your surroundings, and avoid isolated areas.
You can get around by domestic flights, private taxis, buses, or by hiring a car with a driver. In major towns, boda-bodas (motorcycle taxis) are a popular mode of transport.
Try local dishes like Matoke (steamed banana), Luwombo (stewed meat or chicken in banana leaves), Ugali (maize porridge), and Rolex (an egg and chapati roll), a popular street food!
