Uganda’s unique attractions, including the largest freshwater lake in Africa, the source of the Nile River, the mighty Murchison Falls, a rich variety of primates, and the world’s largest population of mountain gorillas, draw tourists from across the globe every year. However, travelers should be aware when planning a trip to Uganda of concerns related to crime, terrorism, and the existence of anti-LGBTQI+ legislation. Some regions within the country have witnessed an elevated level of risk.
For those still considering a trip to Uganda, exercising a high degree of caution is essential. Violent crimes pose a significant threat to both visitors and residents, with potential incidents occurring at any time, especially in larger cities like Kampala and Entebbe, as well as in the Karamoja region and along the western and northern borders of Uganda. Additionally, the country faces a credible terrorist threat, and attacks could potentially be indiscriminate or target foreign nationals or places commonly frequented by them. Travelers are strongly advised to avoid the border area with South Sudan. Given these risks, comprehensive travel insurance is more important than ever, and individuals should thoroughly review their coverage to ensure it offers adequate protection.
No matter the extent of your security needs, we have a solution. Our experienced security partners can offer a range of services from low profile armoured cars with highly skilled drivers, highly trained armed or unarmed bodyguard protection, threat analysis and vulnerability assessment, journey management, media team security, executive protection and more.
