Safe and Secure: Uganda’s Commitment to Tourist Safety
Uganda prioritizes the safety of tourists and citizens alike, ensuring a secure environment for all. The government, in partnership with agencies like the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA), Uganda Peoples Defence Forces (UPDF), and the Police, has demonstrated a steadfast commitment to securing visitors during wildlife adventures in national parks and tourist attractions.
As the tourism high season approaches (June to December), Uganda expects a significant influx of international visitors seeking adventure, making it a busy and profitable period for tour operators. The government prioritizes visitor security amidst this influx.
Uganda’s impressive natural wonders have led it to be ranked fourth among the most visited destinations globally by Bradt Guides. Despite its richness in tourist attractions, visitor security and safety remain paramount. Proactive measures like deploying high-tech drone rangers, increasing security patrols, and maintaining a permanent military presence have been implemented to ensure safety in national parks.
