Good to know
Uganda requires every local SIM to be registered against a passport or national ID at the point of sale — a travel eSIM arrives ready to use, so you skip the registration desk on arrival.
Unlimited, honestly.

Unlimited plans run at full speed up to a daily fair-use allowance, then at reduced speed until the allowance resets the next day — you're never cut off. Every plan is prepaid: the checkout total is the whole bill, and we never add overage charges.

Hotspot support varies by plan and destination — where it's available for your plan in Uganda, it's shown in the plan details before you pay.

The Uganda eSIM guide.

Uganda — the Pearl of Africa — pairs mountain-gorilla trekking in Bwindi with Nile-source adventures at Jinja and Big Five game drives across Queen Elizabeth and Murchison Falls. Between remote lodges and long transfers, a working data connection handles offline maps, permit confirmations, boda-boda apps, currency conversions and video calls home.

How it works on the day

Install your eSIM over hotel WiFi before you fly, then switch it on when you land at Entebbe International Airport — it connects to MTN or Airtel automatically. Coverage is strong across Kampala, Entebbe and Jinja, and thins out deep inside the national parks.

Choosing your days

Gorilla-trek add-ons usually run three to five days; a full safari circuit two weeks or more. Match your bundle to the itinerary — a week's data for a short trek, a larger monthly plan for an overland loop out west.

The short version.

A travel eSIM is data only. It sits next to your home SIM, so your number, texts and WhatsApp carry on as normal. Pick unlimited, priced per day, or a fixed bundle of GB if it's mostly maps and messages. Install it on Wi-Fi before you fly — the days only start once it first connects in Uganda, and it finds a partner network on its own.
