FAQ

Does an eSIM work in Uganda?

Yes. A Simply eSIM works in Uganda over 4G networks covering Kampala and the main cities. Install it before you travel and activate on arrival in seconds.

Is coverage good in the safari parks?

Coverage is good in Kampala, cities, and on main roads, and can weaken in mountain forests and remote safari parks. Download your maps before game drives.

Does my primary number keep working during the trip?

Yes. Your primary SIM stays in place and keeps receiving calls and bank verification messages as usual, while your data runs over the travel eSIM.

How much data do I need in Uganda?

For maps and messaging, 1-2 GB per day is enough. If you share lots of photos and video, pick a larger plan — you can always top up from the app.
