Uganda Travel latest Safety and Security Information

Each day I receive emails asking me the same question.  Is Uganda safe for visitors?  Is is safe for a westerner?  Is Uganda safe for an American visitor?  I look at my analytical program for my website and see the same question…”Is Uganda safe?”

Uganda is safe and secure.  There is no war going on inside of Uganda.  There has been peace in the north for over 2 1/2 years in regards with Uganda the Pearl of Africathe LRA Joseph Kony rebels.  There is no rebel activity inside of Uganda in June 2009.

I live in Uganda, do I feel unsafe?  No, I do not.  When research security and safety going to sites like the Lonely Planet and other travel sites what I find is outdated information that goes back to 2004.  A person from Clinton Iowa looks at coming here reads such mis-information as if it is the present state of security in Uganda.  Westerners have a bad enough image of the pearl of Africa fueled by partially fictional films such as “Last King of Scotland” and what newspaper writers report in the USA.  It is primarily the USA that circulates erroneous information about Uganda.  (I am an American)  Europe seems to be a bit more informed on the current situation here.

Given the continued threat to regional security posed by the LRA, American citizens should exercise caution when traveling in those districts of northwestern Uganda that border the DRC and southern Sudan and which could potentially be subject to LRA incursions. The Ugandan Government also continues to expand and improve the capacity of the civilian police force in northern Uganda by deploying additional personnel and concentrating resources to further recovery and re-development activities throughout the north.
