Getting there
Delegates fly into Entebbe International Airport (EBB), approximately 30–40 minutes from central Kampala via the Kampala–Entebbe Expressway (toll road). Hotels can arrange airport transfers, and ride-hailing apps such as Uber and SafeBoda are widely available for ground transport within the city.

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.
