But I know they add a very high fee, even if there is a good exchange rate with ATM.
During my last trip MasterCard at Barclays worked (June18). Anyway I had some prepaid visa electron card released by postal public company of my country. I tried these cards and they did not work. Then I discovered on internet a note of the Postal company that banned Uganda and some other country around the world (reason was "replying of money" So my visa electron did not work anymore in this country.
So, don't me with only 1/2 cards to Uganda and moreover bring cash with you.

Hi,
I'm planning a visit to Kampala soon, but I heard stories about girls trying to blackmail you after sex (threatening to call the police / friend if you don't give them extra money etc).
Or the police wanting bribe because someone "snitch" on you.
Are there any truth behind those stories and how safe is it regarding robbery / bribe / blackmail?
Thanks in advance.
Franko.
Hi,
I'd like to reach Luanda (Angola). I saw very nice girls there. There are black girls with Latin blood. But I can't reach Luanda until a guy tells how girls behave in bed compared to Ugandan girls. I can't risk a trip knowing that some girls are waiting for me in Uganda to take my hand and take me to heaven. Any info?

Franko.[/QUOTE]I have met a few who were that way inclined threatening you for more money or police if you don't do as they say. That is a reason not to take them back to where you stay as if it's a hotel they'll create a scene and as for the cops they're as corrupt as you'll get. It's a case of who you know not what you know and they'll always be on the side of the Ugandan, unless you can speak and understand Swahili. Watch out for drink spiking and then them doing the dirty, don't leave your drink unattended take it with you where you go and either finish it or abandon it if you've been away dancing or chatting them up. Be wary of Four Turkeys in Entebbe for spiking and just in general be careful.

They don't ask extra money after sex but they ask money when you come back to your country. If Police agrees with the girl, you will not be able to reach Uganda anymore, otherwise you will have very serious problems when you will reach the Entebbe Airport. But certainly the Police will ask the girl to prove what she claims.
I arrive Aug. 22 my first trip I m excited.

I went to Uganda many times and met many girls and I can tell you that they are the kindest girls in Africa. Sometimes I wonder what kind of girls you pick up. Of course prostitutes can do 100 different faces.

I'm going to stay at tick hotel on bombo road I will post on the forum what I think of the hotel.
I did pretty good with airbnb.
[QUOTE=BobBlack;2359218]I write bad things. Is that so. But you seem to know so much about the Ugandan police who are just as corrupt as any other East African countries police. Every time you get involved with the so called police they'll take the side of the Ugandan because the visitor has plenty money to hand over, that's why they're so corrupt they earn next to nothing and will never take your side against a locals word. I have witnessed it and have no intention of ever going there again after what I went through with them. You do your thing and I'll do mine but don't ever call me a liar you dickhead.[/QUOTE]If a girl makes a written complaint about you and if the Police check that she is right, you will pass very serious trouble. Serious trouble and you will be persecuted even in your country. So be very careful because the police will block you at the Airport to check and sometimes even they call the consolde of your country.
