For Uganda African Safari Company, your safety and well-being are our top priorities. Uganda is generally considered a safe destination for travelers; however, like any international travel, it requires some precaution and awareness of local conditions. We recommend keeping up-to-date with travel advisories from official sources such as your government’s travel advisory website.
While the US rates Uganda at a higher risk, we would like to tell you why we think this is over-generalized. Since the October 2023 attack, all National Parks now have military personnel patrolling the areas adjacent to the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is also true that Uganda is anti-LGBTQUIA due to high religiosity within the culture. We as a company are inclusive and accepting but would encourage you to not engage in public displays of affection. We only travel during the day. All lodges with who we collaborate have private security. And, your guide is with you at all times and stays near your lodge should there be a crisis or emergency.
Uganda is known for its friendly people and stability in many tourist areas, especially popular destinations like national parks, the capital city Kampala, and the shores of Lake Victoria. It's always wise to exercise common travel safety practices such as avoiding isolated areas at night, keeping an eye on personal belongings, and using reputable tour operators.
Our tours are designed with your safety in mind, including carefully vetted accommodations, experienced guides, and well-planned itineraries. We also offer 24/7 support during your trip to ensure a secure and enjoyable experience. If you have any specific concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our customer service team before booking your trip.
