Uganda is a developing east African nation.
Infrastructure is adequate in Kampala, the capital, but it is limited in other areas.
A passport and visa are required. U.S. citizens can obtain a visa either at the Embassy of the Republic of Uganda in Washington, D.C. or at Entebbe Airport, near Kampala. Overseas inquiries may be made at the nearest Ugandan embassy or consulate. U.S. citizens living in or planning to visit Uganda should be aware of threats to their safety from insurgent groups, originating both within and outside of Uganda, particularly in northern and western Uganda. They have at times specifically targeted U.S. citizens.
