FAQs

Frequently asked Question

English is Uganda’s official language. It serves as the primary language of administration, education, and business throughout the country. However, Uganda is a linguistically diverse nation with over 40 distinct indigenous languages spoken. Some of the major native languages include Luganda, Swahili, Runyankole, and Luo, among others.

Luganda, for instance, is widely spoken in the central region, including the capital city, Kampala. Swahili, while not an official language, is commonly used for communication in various parts of Uganda, especially along the borders and in trade interactions. Runyankole is prevalent in the southwestern region, and Luo is spoken in the northern part of the country.

So, while English is the official language and widely understood, you’ll encounter a rich tapestry of local languages that reflect Uganda’s cultural diversity during your travels, adding to the country’s unique charm.

Yes, to travel to Uganda, you typically need both a visa and a valid passport.

Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date from Uganda. It’s crucial to check your passport’s expiration date and renew it if necessary before your trip.

Most visitors to Uganda require a visa to enter the country. You can obtain a tourist visa either in advance from the Ugandan Embassy or Consulate in your home country or upon arrival at Entebbe International Airport or other designated entry points. However, it’s recommended to check the latest visa requirements and application procedures, as they can vary based on your nationality and the purpose of your visit.

Please note that visa policies and entry requirements may change, so it’s essential to verify the current regulations with the Ugandan authorities or your nearest Ugandan diplomatic mission before your trip.

The currency used in Uganda is the Ugandan Shilling, abbreviated as UGX. Exchanging your foreign currency to Ugandan Shillings is typically straightforward in Uganda. You can do so at banks, licensed exchange bureaus, or authorized currency exchange points, which are readily available in major cities and tourist areas. Many of these facilities offer competitive exchange rates, making it convenient for travelers to obtain Ugandan Shillings for their transactions and expenses.

Additionally, Uganda is increasingly adapting to modern payment methods. While cash remains widely accepted, credit and debit cards are becoming more commonly used, especially in urban areas and established businesses. Online payments are also allowed and have gained popularity, allowing you to make reservations, book tours, and pay for various services electronically, providing added convenience during your visit. However, it’s advisable to carry some cash for places that may not yet accept cards or online payments.

The best time to travel to Uganda depends on your preferences and the experiences you seek, as the country offers diverse attractions year-round. However, here are some recommendations:

The dry Season (June to August, December to February)

This is often considered the best time to visit Uganda. During these months, the weather is relatively dry and pleasant, making it ideal for gorilla trekking, wildlife safaris, and other outdoor activities. The clearer skies provide excellent visibility for spotting animals in the country’s national parks.

Rainy Season (March to May, September to November)

While Uganda’s rainy seasons can create lush, green landscapes, they may also bring occasional heavy rains, making some roads impassable and hiking trails slippery. However, this is a fantastic time for bird watching and enjoying lower tourist crowds.

Ultimately, the best time to travel to Uganda depends on your interests and what you hope to experience. At Ameera Africa Safaris, we help tourists research specific destinations and activities to align their trip with the most suitable season.

Much like Uganda safaris tours Mountain Gorilla habituation, Chimpanzee habituation follows the same procedure. It starts with a short briefing early in the morning before heading out into the jungle with a team of professionals including game rangers, a guide and scientists. Getting an early start on this Uganda safari vacations adventure allows you to incorporate the morning breeze into your hike giving you an extra push to finish your mission.

Chimpanzees are naturally active creatures so expect your hike to be a hasty one once the apes start moving. The whole point of habituation on this safari tour in Uganda is to allow some almost wild Chimpanzees to grow accustomed to human presence so that they are available for trekking. With Ameera Africa Safaris, we ensure that your experience is a fulfilling one. Uganda safari tours Chimpanzee habituation requires that you follow strict rules such as always keeping silent since these apes are not used to human presence. The whole experience lasts about four hours as you observe and learn about the Chimpanzees of Uganda and their way of life. Take as many pictures as you like as long as you remember to turn your camera flash off!

From a distance of about 8 – 10 meters away from the Chimpanzees on your Uganda safari vacations, you can easily tell how funny and intriguing these apes can be; especially when the infants are playing with each other. After spending 4 hours with the apes, it is time to leave them to continue the rest of their day without you. Enjoy a feast of your packed lunch in the jungle then start your hike down to the park headquarters.

Uganda safari tours and holidays Chimpanzee habituation permits are a bit more expensive than Chimpanzee trekking permits since the habituation process takes longer than the Chimpanzee trekking adventure. Foreign residents and non residents pay USD 250 for the permits while East African citizens are required to pay UGX 150,000 to spend 4 hours in the wild with the Chimpanzees.

The Chimpanzee habituation permit covers entrance fee, a guide and security on your safari tour Uganda.  You are however advised to book for your permit at least 3 months in advance since they are often on high demand and can easily run out. Booking last minute might lead to some disappointments and inconveniences. Chimpanzee habituation is available all year round but it is worth noting that peak seasons come with a lot of crowds.
