Uganda is a very safe country to visit.

Although Uganda has lived through a turbulent history, the country is safe, stable and welcoming. Ugandans' hospitable nature is legendary! You will be warmly welcomed wherever you go by the country's friendly residents.

The most popular National Parks are situated in the south (west) of Uganda and are safe to visit. The border area with Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo remains stable and all National Parks and wildlife reserves are well protected by the Uganda Wildlife Authority rangers. Tourism is hugely important for Uganda's economy and a Tourism Police force has been created to protect visitors.

If you are unsure about the safety of travel to Uganda, please contact Musana tours and travel.

Your travel insurance company or foreign office may offer information about travel to Uganda. However, in our experience, these bodies have in most cases misinterpreted our situation by relying on a side of caution and do not necessarily know what is happening on the ground in Uganda at the time.

For example, as of today (2020) , some still advise against travel to Kidepo Valley National Park in Northern Uganda, when it is actually safe to travel there by road and also has a fly in airstrip, moreover it's the ultimate wilderness where you will see the three cats in one place.

Your safety is our absolute priority and you can be rest assured that we will always give you the best Uganda safety travel advice.
