Training venue
Kampala offers a range of international-standard hotels and conference venues in areas such as Nakasero, Kololo, and Munyonyo, with properties typically providing Wi-Fi, AV equipment, and dedicated meeting rooms. Mid-range to upscale venues are well-suited for professional training events.
Getting there
No direct flights are available from Ouagadougou to Kampala; delegates typically connect via Addis Ababa on Ethiopian Airlines for a total journey time of approximately 12 hours to Entebbe International Airport.
Visa
Most nationalities must obtain an eVisa online via the official Uganda immigration portal (visas.immigration.go.ug) before travel; the single-entry visa costs USD 50 and is valid for 90 days. East African Community citizens (Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Burundi, South Sudan) enter visa-free.
Safety
Avoid carrying valuables openly and do not walk alone at night; use registered ride-hailing apps or hotel-arranged transport for evening travel. Stay alert in crowded areas and markets, and avoid large public gatherings or demonstrations.
