As a Ugandan in Kampala , about bodabodas,you are right London, if you don't have a car don't trust bodabodas at night however now we have "safebodas" just like Uber that are safe , I would advise you ensure to get the app and be able to get safe rides from safebodas . But mostly endeavour to get to know a friend who can be able to move with you within and around the city. It's always safer
this is why western countries work more efficient than african/middleeastern 😂 Time management and scheduling will optimize everything in economy, work etc
Negative energy 😅I think your just comparing Ug to England but even at that our electricity is so reliable and most of the times when electricity is to go off we are notified by the board. WE ARE ADIFFERENT SOCIETY,with different ways of life stop comparing us to wherever you come from.Amen

In Uganda the electricity is on a time weekly schedule, 3 days in a week the power is on during the day, the other 2 days the power is on at night and it’s always on during the weekends…. I was born in Uganda now living in Canada.
As a resident of kampala specific munyonyo buziga a kampala suburb...electricity is so reliable here its rarely off , in a month it can go like 2 times like 20mins and its back ..so yeah i disagree with you on that ...those visiting kampala mustn't live in the crowded areas of kampala cause they are prone to such electricity issues but in buziga we always have power 24 /7 always
We do respect time Mr Ahmed wat u have to keep in mind is Uganda has ts time so if u have a meeting all u have to tell a Ugandan is we meet at 7am/pm Ugandan time okay never we dnt respect time
When it comes to food they always on time believe you me no matter the weather come rain come sunshine they come and chop the food, if you don't believe me organise a party everyone will be there before inviting time or even sleeping over the night before the party.
Don't say they will come at the event on time 🤣☺️ they don't care about the event if you want to communicate the language most ugandans understand is food 🥑 period!
Greetings from central Illinois, USA. I financially support a 15 year old boy that lives in rural Uganda and was curious how safe it is for Americans… what are your thoughts ? Thank you
Greetings It’s a good thing you’re doing for the boy. Uganda is one of the safest places I’ve been to. Of course there are area you have to watch your surroundings, just like anywhere else in the world. But nonetheless, most places are very safe.
It good thing what you're doing. But Uganda is a safe place for foreigners, we actually give them special treatment as "guests". The best thing to do is have a person ( Ugandan) that will accompany you during your visit, life will be easier, they will help navigate the ugandan life. But you will do fine even if you come alone , its safe.
@@tymelondon thank you for the prompt response, with regards to Vaccines, is yellow fever the only one that you should be vaccinated for if travelling from the UK? Also is there no chance of applying for the visa upon arrival? Thank you
@@harbisulub if you’re planning on travelling to Uganda. You need both, C-19 vaccination certificate (not the PCR), and Yellow Fever Booklet upon arrival. Also, Visas must be applied for online. Once approved, you print it off and submit it to immigration at Entebbe. Then you get the actual Visa.
No hurry in Africa! it’s annoying when you like keeping time, but it’s normal in Africa due to circumstances and how they values time😀 Power😡. Very good advice 👍🏾
Correction bruh... We kp time bt differently... Say I wanna host a meeting at 10am... The actual time I will tell u is 9am... At 10 u won't b late... You'll just b on time
People run late because they have freedom , why should they be tied down to a clock 😂like in Americas, life is timeless and I think most African countries are like this also , I love it
How bad is traffic in Uganda? Going there and the place I’ll be staying to where I’ll working is 25 min….but someone told me it could take up to an hr due to traffic…so Kinda worried about tht.
Traffic can be a problem during rush hours in the morning and evening when people are leaving work. You can avoid it by using Boda Bodas (motor taxis). They are very cheap and efficient.
Ooh. Yeah even my friend called for a tax then later they find out there was another person inside the car with a gun ,a knife Jesus it was so scary be careful
😅that will be very interesting. But spoiler alert "money = the best women ". But if you conquer the temptation to use money, then you will find gems and have fun along the way. Plus intimacy is a big deal in Ugandan society you will discover some fascinating things. I'll leave you you to figure those out on your own.
I am heading for a wedding for 3 weeks in December and I was hoping to be able to work off my laptop for part time (7 h time difference) because I don't have enough vacation time, with the way the electricity is would I maybe have some problems?
The reliability of power often depends on the area that you are staying in. Some areas have more reliable power lines than others. However, some places like hotels tend to have generators, which are back-ups for when the power goes off.
Peace to all. I have similar plans on staying in Kampala and work remotely. Best bet is to rent out a office either in the Central business district or like my guy London said a middle or upper class neighborhood.
@@tymelondon ugandan electicty is actually really good for an African country when I was there the was only like 3 or 4 power cuts and it did not last long go to Nigeria, you will see what bad power is
@@thebigblacktraveler when you start comparing with other places, you can always find some good in any problem. Matter of fact is that, Ugandan Electricity is not reliable.
But the power is reliable, may be if u live in the suburbs further away from the city center, there the electric grid may malfunction but not loadsheding
it Ended. Its rear nowadays. Only happens when there is a problem with the electric grid. But loadsheding isn't a problem anymore. Maybe if you're living in a rural area.
my daughter and I plan on going to visit the kids from kids link Africa. we support them from the u.s. we are kinda scared my friend who runs kids link was mugged and robbed coming from a funeral of one of the children. put him in the hospital into a coma and hurt him badly.
That’s terrible, what happened to your friend. Horrible, to say the least. On average, Uganda is one of the safest places I’ve been to. But just like any country, it’s not perfect. I’ve heard stories similar to what happened to your friend, but I’ve never experienced it. I hope you’ll still make the trip, because the good very much outweighs the bad about this country.
Dear Lisa, when u come use Ubers and Safe Boda for transport if u don't have private cars. But Uganda is so beautiful and safe though their are wrong elements like any others countries🙏
@@ab_yusofficial8866 advising someone not to move at night is not good advice. Most places in Kampala are safe, day and night. You just have to be responsible while travelling and use safer means of travel. I.e Ubers or Safe Bodas.
You may consider getting someone to move you around in safe places, someone who knows ug very well. We always know where and when and at what time to move in different places.
Great advice from a Brit with first hand experience of Uganda.

Whats it like for a white guy to go travel there for a bit? Would I be received well?
Uganda welcomes all races.
You will be recieved well, there's no doubt. It's ok here, very okay. We love people in this nation.
Hey man what is the best affordable area to live in Kampala?
It all depends on your budget. Check out Booking.com for places to stay.
Can I still get a visa at Entebbe airport on arrival?
All visas must be applied for online before travelling. They don’t issue visas at Entebbe anymore.
Sorry for so many questions but do I still have to get PCR test even though I’m full vaccinated from COVID-19?
