One of our core values is to lead with service. Our tour consultants will provide you with the latest information before you travel. However, there are certain things that are the responsibility of the tourist.
All JOKUN travelers are responsible for arranging and obtaining the required entry documentation for the countries they intend to visit.
To prevent the spread of COVID-19, different governments have come up with entry requirements and restrictions. These requirements and restrictions depend on different factors such as your country of residence, travel history, passport nationality, destination as well as transit points. Given these considerations, it is the responsibility of the tourist to research and understand the latest travel and health requirements and restrictions by destination to keep themselves up to date.
Important considerations:
- Don’t forget to consider the latest travel and health requirements and restrictions by destination, for both directions of travel — not just for the start country of your tour.
- If you visit multiple countries as part of your itinerary or on the way to your destination, there may be additional entry requirements. Keep this in consideration when verifying your documentation.
- If you are travelling with minors (under the age of 18), additional documentation may be required to enter the country visited. Please contact the Embassy for more information.
- Almost all countries will require a visa when travelling to Uganda. E-vasa can be purchased online through the Directorate of Citizenship and Immigration and it is the online authentic Visa Application portal for Uganda Visas. If you are planning to travel to Kenya on the same trip, the Eastern African Community tourists’ visa is the way to go. It costs $100 and is valid for 90 days.
- Given the risk of Malaria in Uganda, you are advised to take malaria medication or even have a malaria vaccination shot.
- Uganda is generally a safe country to travel to any time of the year. However, the best time for a Ugandan Safari is during the dry seasons which range from June to August and December to February.
