Every common question, answered in one place |
How far in advance should I plan a Murchison Falls safari? For peak season (Jun–Sep, Dec–Feb), booking 2–3 months ahead is sensible for lodge availability, especially at the smaller luxury camps. Visa processing and yellow fever vaccination timing (minimum 10 days pre-arrival) should also factor into your planning window.
Do I need a visa to visit Uganda? Yes, unless you hold East African Community citizenship. Uganda now requires all visitors to apply online in advance — there is no visa on arrival. See the full Visa & Entry Requirements guide.
