Getting online across Uganda

Mobile data in Uganda

Flying into Entebbe, visiting family in Kampala or heading out to Bwindi all sit on the same prepaid data plan. An eSIM is a virtual sim card stored on a compatible, carrier-unlocked phone, so there's nothing physical to pick up when you land.

01 / ARRIVAL

Entebbe: sort the pickup before you set off.

Entebbe International Airport is where most tourists land, whether they're staying in Entebbe or transferring to Kampala. Pull up your accommodation booking and send the driver the exact entrance pin, and agree which town your first night is in before the journey.

The Uganda Civil Aviation Authority lists car hire and clearly marked airport taxis. Confirm the current fare and meeting point with the operator you choose rather than an old estimate, and save the driver's name and vehicle details in a message.

Before the return flight, ask your accommodation how early to leave and allow for the road journey. A live map helps with directions, but it won't make a fixed transfer time any more reliable.

Save before you goHotel address, agreed pickup details and the return flight booking.

02 / BEYOND THE CITY

Bwindi: match the trekking sector first.

Bwindi splits into four trekking sectors: Buhoma, Ruhija, Rushaga and Nkuringo. Line up the sector on your permit with your lodge and the driver's route before you go; a broad pin for the national park is not a meeting point.

Use your data to send the booking reference and confirm the reporting point with the operator. Save directions and permit details before entering the forest, and remember extra gigabytes won't fix weak reception in rough terrain.

Hold off on full-resolution photo backups until lodge Wi-Fi is available. The same total allowance spans city days, transfers and any hotspot sharing for the plan's whole validity.

Save before you goSector name, reporting instructions, lodge pin and the driver's contact.
