Hello Everyone. I am now 2 weeks away from moving to Uganda for a new job, and really getting excited and ready for whatever surprises Africa is about to bring me. If anyone can give out some info on a few things please,will be muchly appreciated...
1. What is the current weather situation at this time? I heard April is the wet season, but until what month usually...
2. Yellow fever certificate at the airport - is this really mandatory? What about getting malaria - do i really need to take prophylaxis, or can I do without?
3. Telephone Networks / Wi-fi - is this something easily available around the Kampala region? If anyone can please recommend the better service providers... My phone is a blackberry curve 8530 - would it work there?
4. Dress Code - what is the fashion style like in Kampala? Easy casual all the time? (even at work?)
5. Are international brands conveniently available (like Neutrogena products, estee lauder...) want to make sure I have enough supply until my vacation which is only after a year... my skin tends to be sensitive with other brands, can't do wth any other...
6. Mosquito / Insect Issues?
Thanks in advance to whatever info you can share!!!!
