Hello thanks for your tip! But what I mean by this is that a blog cannot be used as a proof of anything. You cannot argue with the immigration officer and show them a certain blog as a reference. Whereas, if you show them an info from the official website, they will actually acknowledge it as what happened to me when I went to Zambia without a visa (at that time their official website says my passport can get visa on arrival). With this as my proof, they were compelled to give me the VOA. So for reference, blogs will help for sure but the last say (when in doubt) would still have to come from official sources 🙂

I agree that “immigration rules change from time to time” – and that has certainly been the case here in Uganda – but I’ve noticed that my blog is often more up to date than government sites. This is because a) they don’t update them b) they don’t reply to emails and c) I get frequent comments and questions from travelers. I do encourage people to check for the official answer but that info is not always forthcoming.

I second the recommendation on maps.me app for navigation. Also, you can download tips that travelers shared with each other in the Mzungu backpackers community website, and the tips sync to your maps.me!
