Not so long ago, banking and payments involved a lot of physical effort. We paid for everything with cash, waited in line at the bank to withdraw money using a chequebook and drove distances to pay bills. I remember my first trip to the bank in Kampala where I saw a man stuff wads of notes into his socks before leaving the bank.
Although European banks have had online banking for a long time, few are linked with mobile phone technology yet. Come to East Africa to see how it works!
I use mobile money to buy my internet data, pay water and electricity bills. My friends and I regularly send small amounts of cash using these systems. In Kenya , the M-Pesa system is used in almost every shop and bar. As for computers, Computer Facilities in Kamwokya have saved my bacon more than once!
They certainly retrieved all of mine — twice! Computer Facilities also develop bespoke network infrastructure solutions for large companies. International delivery companies exist but there is also a Post Office on Kampala Road. Take note of the helpful instructions on the colourful letterboxes outside Kampala Road Post Office. You can apply online in advance or you can buy on arrival at Entebbe airport.

In San Diego, California. What state are you from.? Hi Eva and Darryl — wow — Kampala will be a bit of a change from life on the ocean. I am a Ugandan national and have lived outside Uganda for a long time. I visit my home country regularly but I have to apply for Visas online for my wife and children because they are not Ugandan yet. Weebale nnyo nnyabo!
Hi Sam There is so much humour in Uganda, one of the many reasons I love living here! The average Londoner would not cope with Kampala traffic without regular incidences of road rage, for example.
Read my blog Driving in Kampala , written by a fellow British expat. You could see how much the place got to him! Thanks for dropping by my blog. Good luck with the visas. More and more people are now getting them on arrival at Entebbe airport by the way. My partner holds a British passport but was born in Uganda prior to this date seems important she was married to a Ugandan national who is deceased now she has lived and worked in the UK for 30 years now I hold a British passport never been to Uganda she wants to go back home to Uganda and wants me to go with her now what are the rules for citizenship for her and me as her spouse we plan to marry before we go if that helps she has close family in Uganda mostly Kamplala.
I did speak to the Ugandan High Commission in London but although they tried to be helpful I was more confused ever web site I vist does not give enough details about emigrating to Uganda for British Nationals? An help appreciated. In my experience, there is no website that answers all immigration questions. Your best bet is to try and connect with expats who are resident in Uganda and hear first-hand from them. Facebook is generally the best place to do this before you arrive in country. Best of luck with all your plans and preparations!
Been reading everything I can find about living in Uganda my partner was born in Uganda but has British Nationality as do I we plan to move to Uganda later this year all being well.

He mentioned of starting life in Kampala. I am hoping to share as much on it as l could find. You have proven to be a good starting point. Glad to read you are finding the information useful. Perhaps one day I will… in the meantime if you have any specific questions, please ask away.

Dear Dr Kampala has lots of gyms, from cheap tiny local ones to state of the art fitness centres in international hotels. You can sign up for a year, or pay as you go. Plenty of options and lots of fitness classes too. Do you run? Kampala life is great. We have a number of marathons, squash courts, ultimate frisbee, lots of swimming pools mostly at hotels. There are cycling groups, mountain climbing groups and more. You can get almost anything in KLA. Chicken, eggs you can get everywhere. Tilapia and Nile Perch are our main fish. Oats are a bit of a special item still but bigger supermarkets sell them.
Ugandan fruits and vegetables are fabulous. Huge, cheap, plentiful. Cook at home or go for international type restaurants. The 1 reason, ppl give bazungu lot of attention that you later observed was because you are perceived as wealthy in a 3rd world nation.
