We would like you to remain healthy during your stay in Uganda and have some recommendations for you that will help you do so.

• Water:  Drink bottled water only.  Use it to brush your teeth and do not rinse with tap water.

• Food:  In eating out, it is best to stay away from salads of various kinds.  Make sure that food is hot, especially at buffets which are breeding grounds for troubling stomach bugs. You can eat it if you can peel it, boil it or cook it, otherwise it is best to forget it. Should you come down with Travellers Diarrhoea  you can use immodium in early stages or use a prescription of ciproflaxin as given by your doctor.

• Antimalarial Drug and Protection from Mosquitos:  Take it daily or as prescribed and use the mosquito netting we provide in your room.  This will make for a good stay.  Use a deet based insect repellant to apply on your skin at night and spray your room with "Doom."

• Eating:  When eating out at restaurants there are simply things to remember.  No ice, since that most often is made from tap water

• Swimming:  It is best to use swimming pools at some of the hotels near the guesthouse.  Lakes and Rivers bring with them the possibility of bilharzia which is brought about by a nasty worm lodger.

• Sun Protection:  SPF 15 or more.  Avoid sunbathing at midday.  Wear a hat and sunglasses.

• Snakes:  Rarely do snakes attack you.  For protection it is best to wear sturdy hiking boots and long trousers such as jeans that are somewhat thick. 

• Thieves and Robbers:  Kampala is a relative safe city and violent crimes are a rarity.  It is best to prevent a sad story by being aware.  Keep your wallet in front pocket where you can protect it.  A backpack can be cut off, use a leather one and wear it in front.  Do not acts as if you are lost even if you are.  Go into a shop and ask for directions.
