A Guide to Teaching Abroad in Uganda

Where to Teach Abroad in Uganda

Uganda is a landlocked country in Eastern Africa. The country is known for its large lakes, including Lake Albert, Lake Edward, and Lake Kyoga, in addition to the infamous Lake Victoria. Uganda is situated at the East African plateau, and while largely equatorial, it still experiences sporadic rainfall throughout the year. Here are the best places to teach abroad in Uganda. 

Mukono District. You’ll find this site in south central Uganda, where Mukano is the main commercial center and the district’s headquarters, and the population is around 600,000. With an ideal climate and abundant rainfall, you’ll come to adore this area. Natural lovers and adventure enthusiasts will rejoice with Lake Victoria’s plethora of watersports as well as Sezibwa Falls, which has a natural forest reserve with trails and walkways, ample birdwatching and forest exploration, and a cultural site of artifacts, century-old trees, and caves. 

Kampala. If you get the chance, visit the dynamic capital of Uganda with its tropical rainforest climate — it’s located off the coast of Lake Victoria in the southern area. The energetic city is filled with street shopping, hotels, temples, and mosques. From the Gaddafi National Mosque to the Uganda Museum to the Nakasero Market, Kampala has enough attractions and things to do to keep you busy for a weekend or two. 

Jinja. This city, the historical source of the Nile River, and the adrenaline capital of East Africa, lies east of Kampala on the shores of Lake Victoria. From whitewater rafting, bungee jumping, kayaking, mountain biking, and more, this city will tempt your daredevil within to go nuts with fun. Jinja also has several educational establishments, so you might be able to find a teaching position here that fits your needs.
