Are women safe while traveling in Uganda? That is a question often asked
by women coming to Uganda. The answer to that question is "yes."
Uganda is a very safe country for women travelers, especially if you are
on a safari with a safari tour company such as ourselves.
There are some tips that might be of help:
Clothing: If you are in a city such as Kampala you will find that
most Ugandan women dress up quite nicely and are quite fashion conscious
even if they are for the most part wearing second hand clothing from
North America and Europe.
Shorts are not a good choice for women because it offends some and
leaves the wrong impression. Jeans, dresses, skirts, Khaki
trousers are fine and do not cause any cultural problems. Even
with a bathing suit it is wise to stay a bit on the conservative side of
things.
A woman may encounter an occasional attempt by a male at flirting, but
that can happen anywhere in the world and it does happen here. A
smile and a no will usually resolve the situation in a friendly manner.
Male or females may get a subtle or not so subtle marriage proposal,
again a smiling, no thank you will do the trick. The temptation of
leaving the country with a European or North American visa can be quite
tempting.
Jewelry - Avoid wearing gold jewelry, necklaces, gold or diamond
earrings, expensive watches and the like.
Money: If you are wearing slacks or jeans put your wallet,
money in front of pocket and put your hand over it if you are
walking downtown Kampala, especially in crowded settings such as the
taxi park or Owino Market.
Purse: Put it over your shoulder but also put your hand over
the purse itself and holding it to your side so that no one can
readily grab it.
Passport: Do not carry it with you, but a copy of it, keep it
in a safe and secure place in your lodging.
Walking on your own: For the most part it is fine, it is not
recommended to do so at night on your own as a woman, just as a
precaution unless you go with someone else, preferably a Ugandan.
Ugandan Nightlife: It is usually safe for a woman to go to a
local dance spot and you usually do not have any problems, but to
stay on safe side, stay in company of others, once again have a
Ugandan join you.
