Cloths made out of cotton fabrics only

Luggage and bags: It is up to everyone traveller alone to make a choice, I prefer huge "samsonite" plastic bag. Make sure your bag have up to 20 kg. of weight because, in case of flying from Nairobi to Entebbe, like I did, overweight will be charged. I had to pay additional 1.500 ksh for 5 killos over the limit.
To those who practice buying cloths during their travellings, there is nothing of a kind in Kampala what might attract you.


Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Make sure all your cloths is made out of cotton fabrics, same goes for underwear too. August is winter season in Uganda but no need for warm cloths there. However, it is rainy period and light mackintosh might be very usefull. I suggest you to take light leather jacket or sweater, it is a must for late evenings. You need waterproof shoes, those goretex might serve very well.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Make sure your certificate of vaccination is valid and anti-malaria pills inside your bag. Malaria is much bigger problem in Uganda than it is in Kenya!

Photo Equipment: Depend on your preferences but additional lens could be very useful.

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
