Uganda Daily eSIM — Never Run Out of Data
Daily-renewing data plan for your Uganda trip: choose 500MB–10GB high-speed data per day and the exact number of days you need (1–30 days). Once your daily high-speed allowance is exhausted, speeds are reduced — maps and messaging still work, unlike fixed-data plans where connectivity drops entirely.

- Lowest cost per GB: 10GB/day, about $3.46 per GB of high-speed data.
- Speed after the daily cap depends on the plan: 1 Mbps on 3GB, but only 384 Kbps on 10GB. A bigger plan doesn’t mean faster speeds once the cap is reached.

Using mobile data in Uganda: local tips
- Dial 999 or 112. Uganda Police lists both 999 and 112 for emergencies, and 999 reaches ambulance, fire and police.
- Free Wi-Fi at Entebbe. Entebbe International Airport offers free Wi-Fi in the passenger areas of the terminal, handy for messaging your driver or checking onward plans on arrival.
- SafeBoda top-ups need a matching number. The SafeBoda ride app lets you fund its wallet by card, via a driver or at an agent. Mobile money top-ups must come from the same number registered in the app.
- Expect disruption around elections. Elections and political events in Uganda have previously brought internet and social media disruption. Keep bookings and key contacts saved offline.
- Parks are remote. National parks and wildlife reserves are far from emergency services. Download maps and share your itinerary before heading in.

FAQ
Depends on your chosen plan: 500MB/day → 512 Kbps; 1GB/day → 512 Kbps; 2GB/day → 512 Kbps; 3GB/day → 1 Mbps; 10GB/day → 384 Kbps. After that, you stay connected until your daily high-speed allowance resets.
eSIM plans for Uganda connect via Airtel. Your device automatically selects the strongest local network; 5G is available where supported by the carrier, otherwise 4G/LTE applies. The specific carrier for each plan is listed on its detail page.
Daily plans provide a fixed amount of high-speed data refreshed each day (e.g., 1 GB/day). Once the daily high-speed limit is reached, speeds are reduced but connectivity remains — the full high-speed allowance resets the next day. Fixed-data plans end completely once exhausted; additional data must be purchased.
Essentially similar to "unlimited" plans on the market: you always stay connected, but speeds are reduced after exceeding your daily high-speed data allowance. We clearly state the reduced speed for each plan so you can choose the right one—no vague marketing.
Select the exact number of days for your trip — from 1 to 30 days. Pricing is per day: travel for 5 days, pay for 5 days — no need to overbuy a 30-day package.
1 GB/day is enough for maps, messaging, and social media. 2–3 GB/day if you frequently watch videos or make video calls. 5–10 GB/day for livestreaming or sharing a hotspot with your group.
For most plans, validity starts from the first time your eSIM connects to a network at your destination—you can safely install it at home before flying. Exact details for each plan are clearly stated on its product page.
