Getting there
No direct flights were confirmed from Hong Kong to Kampala; the practical arrival airport is Entebbe International Airport (EBB), with common one-stop options via Addis Ababa on Ethiopian Airlines or via Doha on Qatar Airways, taking roughly 12–16 hours total depending on connection timing.
Visa
Hong Kong passport holders are visa-exempt for Uganda, including Kampala, under Uganda’s visa-abolition arrangement for Hong Kong SAR, so a 5-day professional training trip does not require a visa. Uganda’s immigration site lists Hong Kong SAR among visa-exempt regions and states visa-exempt nationals do not require a visa to travel to Uganda; no fee or processing time is specified for this entry category.
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.
