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

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.

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.
