Stay connected across Uganda

Coverage is reliable in Kampala, Entebbe and the main towns, connecting through a local Ugandan network. In Bwindi, the national parks and the remote countryside, signal is patchy and often limited to the lodges, so keep offline maps for gorilla treks and safari.

Using an eSIM in Uganda

A Uganda eSIM keeps you online for a trip built around gorilla trekking and safari, from Kampala and Entebbe to Bwindi and the national parks. In the cities and towns you get reliable data as you land, while out in the forests and parks coverage naturally thins.

Kampala, the parks and the gorilla forests

Kampala, Entebbe and the main towns are well covered. Out in Bwindi's gorilla forest, in Queen Elizabeth and Murchison Falls national parks and in the remote countryside, signal is patchy and often limited to the lodges, so download offline maps before you head out and plan for stretches offline.

How much data

A week of maps, messaging and photos is often around 5-10GB, with two weeks nearer 10-20GB, and more for heavy use. These are starting points, and actual use varies.

Travel eSIM FAQs

Will I have signal on a gorilla trek in Bwindi?

Coverage in the gorilla forest is patchy and often limited to the lodges, with little or none on the trek itself. Download offline maps beforehand and plan to be largely offline during the trek.

Will it work in the national parks like Queen Elizabeth and Murchison Falls?

Around the gateways and lodges, coverage is variable, and out on the game-drive tracks it is limited. Download offline maps before you head into the parks.

Will it work in Kampala and Entebbe?

Yes, the cities and the main towns are well covered for maps, messaging and getting around.

Can I use maps and ride-hailing as soon as I land?

Yes, in Kampala and Entebbe maps and ride-hailing run on your eSIM data, so you can get moving from the airport.

Can I stay in touch with family while in Uganda?

WhatsApp and messaging run on your data day to day. It is worth knowing that access to some social media and messaging apps has at times been restricted in Uganda, particularly around elections, so keep an alternative such as an ordinary call in mind for anything important.

How much data will I need for two weeks in Uganda?

A week is often around 5-10GB and two weeks nearer 10-20GB, with more for heavier use. These are starting points, and actual use varies.

Can I top-up or extend the plan later?

Top-up availability depends on the plan. Some eSIMs can be topped up, including certain unlimited plans, while others may require a new plan once the current one ends or runs out. Check the individual plan details for your selected option.
