Ten years old info but, The lake Victoria hotel in Entebbe is the place where everyone hangs out. Stay away from the congo/ uganda/Rwanda border. If you see a small dark cloud in an otherwise cloudless sky it will be lake flies by the billion they will plug your inlet filter and completely cover your windshield.

It will take you all day to get permission to fly a track and balance circuit at entebbe airport and then they will make you hold when the British airways 747 inbound is 90 miles back inbound. watch yourself in Kampala, spooky city.

The russians hanging out in entebbe will drink you under the table, but will tell you when they are going to bomb Goma airstrip just in case you are going there.

Uganda in general and Entebbe way way easier than Kenya and Nairobi, costs less and less corruption. But it was ten years ago

Have fun
