Home FAQ Planning & logistics

Is Wi-Fi available on African safari?

Direct answer

Wi-Fi is reliable in Kampala and Entebbe hotels, patchy at mid-range park lodges, and often absent at budget Bwindi guesthouses. Starlink satellite internet is rolling out at premium Mara, Okavango, and some Bwindi lodges (Mahogany Springs, Buhoma Lodge), delivering 50–200 Mbps in common areas. Budget travellers should buy an MTN or Airtel Uganda SIM at Entebbe Airport (~ for 10GB) for mobile data in Queen Elizabeth and Murchison Falls coverage zones.

Overview

Uganda combines mountain gorilla trekking, classic savannah game viewing, chimpanzee tracking, birding, and cultural experiences in a compact circuit. The right answer depends on your dates, fitness, budget, and whether you travel with a licensed operator who handles permits, road logistics, and park regulations.
