Getting there 
F IFTY years ago almost completely inaccessible, 
Uganda can now be reached from London in less 
than a day: its splendid new airport at Entebbe is on 
the B.O.A.C. Comet and Argonaut routes. The single 
fare from London is £144, return £259. There is also a 
tourist service from London costing £107 single, £192 
return. 
Other scheduled air lines calling at Entebbe include 
Sabena and East African Airways which together 
provide communication with all the neighbouring 
territories. 
For those with ample time, the sea route to Uganda, 
via Suez or the Cape, is full of fascination. Single 
fares (London—Mombasa) by Union Castle or British 
India liners range from £105 to £168 first class and from 
£70 to £90 tourist. The journey takes from 19 days to 
six weeks, depending on the vessel and the route. From 
Mombasa Uganda may be reached by air, road or rail. 
Visitors motoring to Uganda from South or Central 
Africa can take the Great North Road, via Tanganyika 
and Kenya. From North Africa the most interesting 
route is by river steamer, bus and rail, following the 
course of the Nile. 
Regulations for Visitors 
T HERE are no irksome regulations for visitors. British subjects 
and the nationals of certain European countries need a passport 
valid for travel in the British Commonwealth; for persons of other 
nationalities a visa is also necessary. 
A visitor is usually given permission to stay for up to three months, 
though this period may be extended after arrival to a total stay of 
twelve months. A visitor is not allowed to take up employment 
without the written permission of the Principal Immigration Officer 
(P.O.B. 1365, Kampala). 
Visitors should have international certificates of yellow fever 
inoculation and smallpox vaccination. 
Duty must be paid on sporting guns but a refund may be claimed 
on leaving the territory, provided this is within six months. Personal 
belongings are admitted duty free. 
Visitors are advised to carry travellers’ cheques rather than currency, 
on which there are certain limitations, or to have money transferred 
through a bank. 
Further information 
F URTHER information about holidays in Uganda may be obtained 
from the East Africa Tourist Travel Association, P.O. Box 1542, 
Kampala. 
General inquiries about Uganda should be addressed to the Depart¬ 
ment of Information, P.O. Box 142, Kampala, or the East African 
Office, Grand Buildings, Trafalgar Square, London, W.C.2.

What to see 
T TGANDA is still a singularly unspoilt country 
^ and two or three weeks’ travel, by road and lake 
steamer, will give the visitor a never-to-be-forgotten 
picture of its natural beauties and the wonders of its 
wild life. 
kigezi : In the remote south-west, at an altitude of 
over 6,000 feet, is the lovely Kigezi district with its 
forests of bamboos, its valleys of waving papyrus, its 
brilliantly-coloured butterflies. Here is Lake Bunyonyi, 
deep and narrow, its shores aglow with water lilies; 
Bunyonyi is free from crocodiles and is one of the few 
lakes where bathing is possible. 
From Kabale a breath-taking mountain road runs 
to the Belgian Congo border, giving superb views of 
extinct volcanoes. 
Kigezi is the home of the mountain gorilla, which 
is strictly protected; there are baboons; and around 
the swamps roam the elusive situtunga. 
fort portal: Strawberries growing all the year 
round fire but one of the attractions of Fort Portal, 
the most convenient centre for the exploration of 
Ruwenzori. Within easy reach are crater lakes 
you can bathe in some of them—and hot springs, 
on which you can boil an egg for a picnic lunch! 
Pygmies live in the surrounding forest. 
kazinga channel: South of Fort Portal—it’s on the 
other side of the Equator—is the Kazinga Channel, 
connecting Lakes Edward and George. Nearby is 
Katwe, a favourite spot for watching game. A 
notice warns motorists that “ elephants have right of 
way.” Twelve miles south of the channel is 
Kichwamba with its magnificently sited hotel. From 
here the Mountains of the Moon can be seen and, 
on the flats below, herds of elephant and buffalo.

Canoe regatta at Entebbe 
owen falls : Discovered less than a hundred years ago, 
the Owen Falls at Jinja, where the Nile leaves Lake 
Victoria, are destined to play a decisive part in Uganda’s 
future development. An immense dam, over half a 
mile long and 85 feet high, has been built there to 
provide power for the country’s new industries. The 
dam will turn Africa’s greatest lake into a gigantic 
reservoir, the biggest in the world. 
mount elgon: Rising to over 14,000 feet (4,200 metres) 
out of the Eastern Province plain is the huge mass of 
Mount Elgon. At its summit is a vast crater, five 
miles in diameter and nearly 2,000 feet deep. The 
ascent of Elgon offers no difficulty: there are three 
routes to the top and adequate rest camps. 
Kampala: The biggest town in Uganda, Kampala is 
the hub of rail, road and steamer communication and 
is thus the natural centre for the holidaymaker. The 
rolling hills on which it is built are nobly crowned by 
two magnificent cathedrals, by the palace of the Kabaka 
(King) of Buganda, by the University College of Makerere 
and by a striking new mosque. Overlooking a pleasant 
wooded valley is the Uganda Museum which has a 
unique collection of African musical instruments. 
Just outside the town, at Kasubi, are the tombs of the 
Baganda Kings. They lie beneath a beautiful reed hut 
in a bare compound and are guarded day and night by 
the King’s “ widows.” Permission to visit the tombs 
can be arranged through the East Africa Tourist Travel 
Association’s Kampala bureau. 
Entebbe: Vividly flowering trees and perpetually green 
parklands make Entebbe one of the most delightful 
spots in the tropics. Especially attractive are its 
Botanical Gardens fringing Lake Victoria.
