You need your yellow certificate before landing. This is one of the attachments requested during the online procedure.
Medication
You can find some pharmacies in Uganda urban areas and small dispensaries in the villages. But we advise you to take with you your own first aid treatments, especially if you are sensitive. Treatment against malaria is recommended but is not an obligation regarding the Ugandan law. Malaria is present in Uganda in specific regions depending the season.
​
Uganda has a lot of wetlands area so protection is highly recommended against mosquitos like spray. However, given the altitude of the Country on the Rift Valley, especially in the South-Western part, in Rwenzori or Elgon, exposition is very low.
