Road accidents
Road accidents are prevalent in many parts of Uganda, so be aware and do what you can to reduce risks: try to travel during daylight hours, always wear a seatbelt, and refuse to be driven by anyone who has been drinking. Listen to the host’s advice about areas where violent crime is rife too. -
Yellow Fever
Proof of vaccination against yellow fever is needed to enter Uganda if you are coming from another yellow fever endemic area. -
Malaria
You must adequately protect yourself against malaria infection. Lower-land areas of Uganda are high-risk zones for malaria-transmitting mosquitos. You may pack a mosquito repellent or visit your doctor before embarking on your trip to Uganda. -
Protection from the sun
Keep out of the sun during the middle of the day and, if you must expose yourself to the sun, build up gradually from 20 minutes per day. Be especially careful of exposure in the middle of the day and the sun reflected off water. Cover up with loose clothes and wear a hat when you can. -
Water sterilization
You can fall ill from drinking contaminated water so try to drink from safe sources, e.g., bottled water. This will be readily available at your hotel and within the conference hall. -
