People with little are easily tempted. You should have no problem sleeping outdoors in designated camping areas or remote places along the way, but get into the habit of locking things away before you go to sleep. Go to Campsites Listing Accommodation Uganda has a wide range of standards when it comes to places to stay - from five star hotels and luxury lodges comparable to any in Africa, to cheap guesthouses and campsites. Foreigners must pay in hard currency or Ugandan SHilings. As far as personal safety is concerned, one could easily travel or even hitchhike alone throughout the country without a problem.
Theft however is rife in the bigger towns and cities.
Don't walk around with things you can't do without, like your passport or airline tickets. Carry minimum amounts of cash and keep it hidden or in a money belt and if possible, don't leave your car unattended. This is less of a problem in the rural areas. Clothes Uganda has a mild temperature throughout the year. Lightweight, preferably cotton, casual clothes can be worn all year round, with a jacket or jersey for early winter mornings and evenings.
