What you should know. Uganda is a very welcoming society and certainly welcomes any visitor. But we strongly advise that people coming in should endeavor to dress modestly and respect the cultures and the government apparatus in place.

Ugandans are very friendly people but you should not be so trusting and watch who you interact with and how much you want to know them.

Safety for your life is always never in question but you might want to take it further and let the embassy know you came into the country. But in most cases this is not necessary. Its pretty safe in Kampala and the North is now safer than it was before.

We discourage certain habits like smoking, beer drinking and bad language when you are on the mission field. You come to impact lives positively and we surely would request you to live up to that, well at least on the mission field.

Be careful what you carry around, no firearms, drugs etc, these are not permitted at all and many times visitors have had to be detained if caught in possession of a firearm, Be careful you don't want to want to be caught in these circumstances.

Openly showing affection on the mission field is prohibited. You are dealing with young people and you might want to keep that for the other times but not on the mission field. To some people it’s not appropriate to see you do this and might offend some.

Guard your money purses well. Always expect anything to happen. Passports should often not be left behind unless there is a safe deposit box but usually its safer when its tucked on your body. Jewellery attracts attention from street junkies, find an apporopriate place to wear it.

We suggest that you don’t easily just set out to go buy anything you might want to bring at home alone, Always find a Ugandan Member of the call Uganada to take you shopping because many times prices are inflated because it’s a white person buying. But we encourage you to try looking for this beautiful place called African Village, trust me you will like what you will see.
