Key etiquette tips:

  • Greetings are very important. Always start conversations with “Hello” or “How are you?”
  • Handshake is common, sometimes longer than in other cultures.
  • Respect elders—use polite language and allow them to speak first.
  • Avoid showing public anger; Ugandans prefer calm communication.
  • When visiting homes, it’s polite to accept at least a small refreshment.

Just keep smiling we don’t like sad people. 😀
