  • Activities to spot: gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest; chimpanzee spotting in Kibale National Park; safari in Queen Elizabeth National Park; rafting on the Nile; hiking in the Rwenzori Mountains; admire the Murchison Falls; swim in Lake Victoria; birdwatching in Mabamba Swamp; explore the markets, historic buildings, and vibrant culture of Kampala.
  • Animal spotting: mountain gorillas, chimpanzees, tree-climbing lions, elephants, hippos, crocodiles, rare shoebills, rock hyrax, zebras, cranes etc.
  • Food spotting: matoke, luwombo, rolex (yes really, but not the clock), tilapia, mandazi, muchomo, groundnut sauce.

  • Study cities: most options can be found in Kampala.
  • Language: English.

Working as a digital nomad in Uganda?

Back to top

Living in Uganda?

  • Living in Uganda is living in one of the most beautiful countries in the world, and also with a stable and growing economy. You can enjoy nature, culture and still have urban amenities nearby if you live in Kampala or Entebbe.
  • Why or why not? Uganda offers an unparalleled nature experience, friendly people and a culturally rich lifestyle. The cost of living is relatively low (depending on where you live), and you have plenty of opportunities to make an impact in community projects and conservation, but healthcare and infrastructure can be limited and the work rhythm may be different than you are used to. It is important to be prepared for the tropical climate and the challenges of living in a developing country.
  • Education: Kampala has a number of international schools that offer education at the level of the British and American systems. The school system itself is largely English-language.
  • Expat community: There is a fairly large expat community, particularly in Kampala, where many people work for NGOs or embassies. There are many social events, clubs and activities for expats.
  • Safety: Uganda is generally safe for expats, although there can be unrest in certain areas. For those living in larger cities, safety is often comparable to that in many African countries, with the usual precautions in place.
  • Culture: Uganda is multicultural, with diverse ethnic groups and a strong musical tradition. Expats are often warmly welcomed and can participate in local festivals and markets, providing a rich cultural experience.
  • Climate: A tropical climate with two rainy seasons (March-May and September-November). It is relatively cool in the higher areas and in the region around Lake Victoria. Temperatures are usually mild, making the country comfortable for most of the year.
  • Health insurance: Healthcare is relatively good in the big cities, but some expats still choose to have treatment abroad (e.g. Nairobi). So make sure you have your own good health insurance.

Travel in Uganda

  • Uganda is a beautiful country full of wildlife parks where you can see elephants, giraffes, buffalos and hippos. You can also take a boat trip on the large Lake Victoria or go whitewater kayaking on the source of the Nile. Mass tourism has not yet hit Uganda, which makes Uganda a real favorite among travelers looking for untouched nature and culture.
  • National parks: Wherever you are in the country, there are many national parks where you can see various wild animals, including many elephants. You can even go on a hike to see the mountain gorillas.
  • Markets: In every city or large village there is a market where you can buy all kinds of things. From beautiful colored fabrics to food and unique handmade souvenirs.
  • Rafting or kayaking on the Nile: The source of the Nile is in Uganda and here you can go whitewater rafting or kayaking (with emphasis on 'wild').
  • Kampala: You can't miss Kampala, a medium-sized city with a vibrant nightlife. There are many Western aid organizations present, which gives the city a high expat content. As a result, there are many diverse restaurants from Thai to French cuisine, but this does not mean that the Ugandan population is not present here and that all clubs and eateries only house non-Ugandan people. On the contrary!
  • One of the hotspots is lake Victoria: This gigantic freshwater lake is the largest lake on the entire African continent and is located in Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. It is not only beautiful to see during daylight or sunrise and sunset, but you can also swim, kayak, take a boat trip, spot birds and much more.
  • Be prepared to face the organized chaotic traffic.

How does the healthcare system work in Uganda? 

Back to top

What is the quality of healthcare in Uganda? 

  • Uganda once had one of the least developed healthcare systems in the world, but since the 1990s it has made great progress. It’s now much better, though still far from what most Westerners are used to.
  • Several types of healthcare providers coexist in Uganda — public hospitals, private clinics, NGOs, and traditional healers.
  • In 1999, the Ugandan government introduced the National Minimum Health Care Package (UNMHCP), which helped make essential healthcare more accessible to the population.
  • Foreigners can use healthcare facilities too, expect mainly basic services.
  • Challenges remain — especially in rural areas, where roads are poor, facilities are limited, and trained staff are scarce.
  • Pharmacies are mostly found in cities and usually have a decent supply of medicines, though shortages of essential drugs can happen.
  • Some medications are only available in hospitals, so check there if the local pharmacy is out.
  • Traditional healers, herbal medicine, and local remedies are widely used, especially in rural areas or as a first step before going to a modern clinic.
  • Ambulance services exist mainly in larger towns, but coverage, speed, and reliability vary widely. The emergency number is 911, though in practice, help may not arrive very quickly.
Back to top

How does the public healthcare system work in Uganda? 

  • Public healthcare is meant to provide an easy first step for locals to access medical care.
  • Local health centers deliver primary care such as vaccinations, common treatments, and basic maternal and child health services.
  • There are regional and national referral hospitals offering more advanced and specialized care — Mulago National Referral Hospital being the best-known example.
  • Most care of acceptable quality is found in the big cities.
  • That said, quality in public hospitals can vary dramatically. Some urban hospitals have fairly modern equipment, while others struggle with shortages of supplies, power, or even running water.
Back to top

How does the private healthcare system work in Uganda? 

  • The private sector plays an important supplementary role. Clinics are reasonably spread across cities and rural areas, ensuring moderate access for many people.
  • Because Uganda hosts many expats and diplomats, there’s a market for high-quality private and specialized healthcare, especially in Kampala and other large towns.
  • Well-known private hospitals include Nakasero Hospital, International Hospital Kampala, and C-Care.
  • Private care generally offers better facilities, shorter waiting times, more comfort, and specialized services.
  • English is widely spoken in private hospitals, that makes communication easier.
  • However, costs for private healthcare are significantly higher and payment is usually required upfront.
  • Expats and wealthier locals typically use private healthcare facilities — or travel abroad for treatment — while private care remains out of reach for most Ugandans.
Back to top

How is the general practitioner arranged in Uganda? 

  • Uganda doesn’t really have a GP system.
  • Usually, whoever is present at the local health center, or the traditional healer, acts as the “family doctor.”
  • In cities, private doctors operate in clinics, where you can go for regular checkups or minor issues.
Back to top

How is the dentist arranged in Uganda? 

  • For dental care, cities are your best bet — especially Kampala, where there are several decent private dental clinics.
  • Specialist dental care (like orthodontics or implants) can be expensive, but is still often cheaper than in Western countries.
Back to top

How is pregnancy care arranged in Uganda? 

  • Prenatal care is available in many regions, and government programs encourage giving birth under medical supervision.
  • Many births take place in healthcare facilities, particularly in cities.
  • However, in some rural areas, women still give birth at home or with traditional birth attendants.
  • The quality of maternity care varies: some hospitals are well-equipped, others much less so — and complications can be risky in poorly supplied rural facilities.
  • The best and most comprehensive maternity care is found in private hospitals in Kampala, Bugolobi, Bukoto, and Makindye. It’s not cheap, but you’ll be in good hands.

How safe or unsafe is a trip or stay in Uganda? 

What should you pay attention to in terms of safety in Uganda? 

  • Overall, Uganda is a fairly stable destination, especially compared to some of its neighboring countries.
  • However, certain regions can be unsafe, particularly border areas or zones affected by local conflicts. Check the latest safety instructions.
  • Petty crime such as pickpocketing and bag snatching occurs in crowded markets, taxi stations, and tourist areas.
  • Keep an eye on your belongings, and avoid showing valuables.

What should you look out for in terms of diseases in Uganda? 

  • Malaria is widespread, so mosquito repellent is not optional.
  • Other infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis remain serious public health issues.
  • Avoid drinking tap water, and be careful with street food or raw produce.

What should you pay attention to when it comes to traffic in Uganda? 

  • Roads in the cities are usually paved and in decent condition, but rural roads are often unpaved and in poor shape.
  • Traffic in Kampala can be chaotic — think congestion, creative driving, and spontaneous honking as a language of its own.
  • Nighttime travel outside urban areas is not recommended due to poor lighting, unmarked obstacles, and safety risks.
Back to top

What work and travel insurance policies are suitable for short and long stays in Uganda? 

  • Is the trip to Uganda and your return sufficiently covered? Are you sufficiently covered before, during and after your activities? Which insurance best suits your trip and your activity? Read more about insurances for abroad on JoHoinsurances.org.

Back to top

What emigration and expat insurance can you take out for Uganda if you are going to live there for a while?

  • When applying for your visa, you are usually required to be able to prove that you have valid health insurance.
  • Private medical care is pretty decent in Uganda, but also pretty expensive. A good international health insurance is important to cover the costs of private care and possible medical evacuation/repatriation.

How does healthcare work in Uganda, and what travel insurance, health insurance or expat insurance do you need?

How does the healthcare system work in Uganda? 

Back to top

What is the quality of healthcare in Uganda? 

  • Uganda once had one of the least developed healthcare systems in the world, but since the 1990s it has made great progress. It’s now much better, though still far from what most Westerners are used to.
  • Several types of healthcare providers coexist in Uganda — public hospitals, private clinics, NGOs, and traditional healers.
  • In 1999, the Ugandan government introduced the National Minimum Health Care Package (UNMHCP), which helped make essential healthcare more accessible to the population.
  • Foreigners can use healthcare facilities too, expect mainly basic services.
  • Challenges remain — especially in rural areas, where roads are poor, facilities are limited, and trained staff are scarce.
  • Pharmacies are mostly found in cities and usually have a decent supply of medicines, though shortages of essential drugs can happen.
  • Some medications are only available in hospitals, so check there if the local pharmacy is out.
  • Traditional healers, herbal medicine, and local remedies are widely used, especially in rural areas or as a first step before going to a modern clinic.
  • Ambulance services exist mainly in larger towns, but coverage, speed, and reliability vary widely. The emergency number is 911, though in practice, help may not arrive very quickly.
Back to top

How does the public healthcare system work in Uganda? 

  • Public healthcare is meant to provide an easy first step for locals to access medical care.
  • Local health centers deliver primary care such as vaccinations, common treatments, and basic maternal and child health services.
  • There are regional and national referral hospitals offering more advanced and specialized care — Mulago National Referral Hospital being the best-known example.
  • Most care of acceptable quality is found in the big cities.
  • That said, quality in public hospitals can vary dramatically. Some urban hospitals have fairly modern equipment, while others struggle with shortages of supplies, power, or even running water.
Back to top

How does the private healthcare system work in Uganda? 

  • The private sector plays an important supplementary role. Clinics are reasonably spread across cities and rural areas, ensuring moderate access for many people.
  • Because Uganda hosts many expats and diplomats, there’s a market for high-quality private and specialized healthcare, especially in Kampala and other large towns.
  • Well-known private hospitals include Nakasero Hospital, International Hospital Kampala, and C-Care.
  • Private care generally offers better facilities, shorter waiting times, more comfort, and specialized services.
  • English is widely spoken in private hospitals, that makes communication easier.
  • However, costs for private healthcare are significantly higher and payment is usually required upfront.
  • Expats and wealthier locals typically use private healthcare facilities — or travel abroad for treatment — while private care remains out of reach for most Ugandans.
Back to top

How is the general practitioner arranged in Uganda? 

  • Uganda doesn’t really have a GP system.
  • Usually, whoever is present at the local health center, or the traditional healer, acts as the “family doctor.”
  • In cities, private doctors operate in clinics, where you can go for regular checkups or minor issues.
Back to top

How is the dentist arranged in Uganda? 

  • For dental care, cities are your best bet — especially Kampala, where there are several decent private dental clinics.
  • Specialist dental care (like orthodontics or implants) can be expensive, but is still often cheaper than in Western countries.
Back to top

How is pregnancy care arranged in Uganda? 

  • Prenatal care is available in many regions, and government programs encourage giving birth under medical supervision.
  • Many births take place in healthcare facilities, particularly in cities.
  • However, in some rural areas, women still give birth at home or with traditional birth attendants.
  • The quality of maternity care varies: some hospitals are well-equipped, others much less so — and complications can be risky in poorly supplied rural facilities.
  • The best and most comprehensive maternity care is found in private hospitals in Kampala, Bugolobi, Bukoto, and Makindye. It’s not cheap, but you’ll be in good hands.

How safe or unsafe is a trip or stay in Uganda? 

What should you pay attention to in terms of safety in Uganda? 

  • Overall, Uganda is a fairly stable destination, especially compared to some of its neighboring countries.
  • However, certain regions can be unsafe, particularly border areas or zones affected by local conflicts. Check the latest safety instructions.
  • Petty crime such as pickpocketing and bag snatching occurs in crowded markets, taxi stations, and tourist areas.
  • Keep an eye on your belongings, and avoid showing valuables.

What should you look out for in terms of diseases in Uganda? 

  • Malaria is widespread, so mosquito repellent is not optional.
  • Other infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis remain serious public health issues.
  • Avoid drinking tap water, and be careful with street food or raw produce.

What should you pay attention to when it comes to traffic in Uganda? 

  • Roads in the cities are usually paved and in decent condition, but rural roads are often unpaved and in poor shape.
  • Traffic in Kampala can be chaotic — think congestion, creative driving, and spontaneous honking as a language of its own.
  • Nighttime travel outside urban areas is not recommended due to poor lighting, unmarked obstacles, and safety risks.
Back to top

What work and travel insurance policies are suitable for short and long stays in Uganda? 

  • Is the trip to Uganda and your return sufficiently covered? Are you sufficiently covered before, during and after your activities? Which insurance best suits your trip and your activity? Read more about insurances for abroad on JoHoinsurances.org.

Back to top

What emigration and expat insurance can you take out for Uganda if you are going to live there for a while?

  • When applying for your visa, you are usually required to be able to prove that you have valid health insurance.
  • Private medical care is pretty decent in Uganda, but also pretty expensive. A good international health insurance is important to cover the costs of private care and possible medical evacuation/repatriation.

    What social activities can you do abroad?

    • Opportunities are found in the areas of helping, learning or studying. You can get involved to volunteer in a social project at a school in Africa, Asia or Latin America. You can get involved in nature, in a project with animals or cleaning the sea or beaches.

    What work related activities can you do abroad?

    • If you want to gain work experience, and/or also earn money, go and work abroad. You can combine backpacking in Australia with temporary work. You can work on campsites in Europe or bush camps in Africa. You can pretty much go all over the world to work in the hospitality industry, hotels and hostels, in the healthcare sector or for example at a diving school.
    Back to top

    What sports activities to do abroad?

    • Have you ever thought of mountain biking, rafting (going down a wild river on a raft or rubber dinghy, climbing or canoeing), survival (which involves building rafts, climbing or canoeing), abseiling (descending a rock face while secured to ropes), zip-lining (whizzing down a cable), canyoning (starting at the top of a river and then climbing, swimming, diving down the bed) or caving (scrambling, wriggling and crawling through caves and crevices)?
    • Maybe you feel more comfortable on a bodyboard (on a half-wave surfboard, you surf the high waves lying down-with flippers), on a hang glider or while paragliding (with a parachute you float down a mountain or dune), hydrospeeding (on a bodyboard with flippers and a wetsuit on you go down a wild river via rapids) or Tiefschneeskiing (racing down through powder snow)?
