Kampala is a relatively safe city with friendly locals who are always willing to help with directions or restaurant recommendations.
With that in mind, please take the usual precautions, such as not flashing your expensive belongings and avoiding walking around alone at night.
Kampala is Uganda's capital city. It is situated near the shores of Lake Victoria in the country's south-central region.
Uganda's main international airport is Entebbe International Airport. It is about 6 kilometres southwest of Entebbe, on the northern shores of Lake Victoria.
The Ugandan Shilling (UGX) is the official currency, and it is divided into 100 cents. Foreign currency can be exchanged at banks and bureaux de change; the best currencies to exchange are US dollars, Euros, or British pounds sterling, but only at official establishments.
There are many places to watch the wildebeest migration and all the drama it draws, but we recommend the Mara River, the plains of the Masai Mara National Park, and the Ndutu Plains of Tanzania's Serengeti.
The best time to see the wildebeest migration is in August as the herds cross the Nile crocodile-infested Mara River, crossing an international border between Kenya and Tanzania.
