Is eSIMFlyer mobile data more reliable than hotel Wi-Fi in Uganda, especially during power cuts?

Updated April 22, 2026

In Uganda, where power cuts (often called "load shedding") are a common occurrence, relying solely on hotel or lodge Wi-Fi can leave you stranded. When the power goes out, so does the Wi-Fi. eSIMFlyer, leveraging local mobile networks like MTN or Airtel, offers superior reliability. Mobile towers often run on robust backup generators, providing a consistent data connection for critical communications, flight changes, or simply staying connected with loved ones, making it your essential lifeline.
