Unofficial 'Helpers' and Porters: At Entebbe International Airport, unauthorized individuals may approach you offering to help with luggage or directions, then demand excessive payment. Avoid by politely declining unsolicited help and only using official airport porters with visible identification badges.

Fake Taxi Drivers: Unlicensed drivers may claim to be official taxis or offer suspiciously low rates, then overcharge or take indirect routes. Avoid by using only official taxi ranks inside the airport terminal, pre-booking through your hotel, or using the ride-hailing apps available in Uganda with transparent pricing.

Currency Exchange Scams: Individuals may approach offering 'better rates' than official exchange counters or ATMs, but provide counterfeit notes or use sleight of hand to shortchange you. Avoid by only exchanging money at official airport exchange bureaus, bank ATMs, or waiting until you reach reputable banks in the city - check current rates in advance.
