Uganda is scheduled to hold general elections from January 2026 (see ‘Safety’). We continue to advise exercise a high degree of caution in Uganda overall. Higher levels apply to the border areas with South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Terrorism remains a threat in Uganda (see ‘Safety’). There’s currently an outbreak of Mpox in parts of Africa, including in Uganda (see ‘Health’).

We advise:

Exercise a high degree of caution in Uganda overall due to the threat of terrorism and violent crime, and the risk of civil unrest.

Higher levels apply in some areas.
