It is highly recommended to use an adapter. Electricity in Uganda is 220/240 volts, frequency is 50 Hz, with square pin plugs, plugs are type G.
It is also possible to use European plugs, if in doubt, ask local people how to use your charger.
Many camps have a limited power supply, but all are capable of recharging their electronics.
Please try to bring enough batteries for the photographic equipment
Visitors must respect the attitude of the local people towards photography, you can only take pictures if you have received permission from the “models” to do so. One should never attempt to take a photo against another person’s will. If necessary, your guide can help you negotiate terms beforehand.
Never take pictures of border posts, people in uniform, at airports or military installations.
During the safari, we recommend that each of your group bring their own pair of binoculars, although in our cars you will find a set of binoculars to share.
Being able to see animals even more closely with binoculars, the nuances of their fur, their colors, their feathers, makes it easier to see animals hidden by tall grass, animals hidden in the treetops, or submerged in the river, etc. Being able to have binoculars during the safari elevates the experience to another level of detail.
The first thing most visitors will notice is that East Africa is extremely friendly and helpful people.
However, we still recommend that visitors take care of their valuables (especially money). In camps and hotels, always leave money or your credit card in the safe deposit boxes provided (either in the room or at the reception). We cannot be held responsible for any loss while on safari.
Arusha is a big city, with pickpockets and tricksters as in all cities, so we recommend that visitors do not walk around with flashy jewelry or with an open bag. Do not walk around Arusha at night.
