American business magazine, Forbes, has named Uganda among the top six countries one should visit this month.
According to Gabriel Leigh, a seasoned travel writer who has also worked for other major media organizations like The New York Times and BBC Travel, Uganda is listed alongside Panama, El Salvador, Pakistan, Ukraine, and the Bahamas.
Last month, President Yoweri Museveni lifted the lockdown on air space following the closure of the Entebbe international airport in April. The closure according to president Museveni peddled at curbing the spread of the deadly covid-19 pandemic.
Entry requirements include a negative test within 72 hours of arrival and a negative test before departure as well. Uganda is unusual in requiring a COVID test before leaving the country. That test needs to happen no more than 120 hours before departure. Keep in mind also that there is a national curfew between 9pm and 6am, though if you have a flight between those hours you are permitted to go to/from the airport.
Current COVID-19 trend is relatively okay. Uganda’s case count was on the rise through September but in absolute terms their outbreak has been reasonably small with just under 9,000 cases so far and 81 deaths.
