Tips for 30 min Connections
Since EBB has just one terminal, focus your time budget on immigration and security lines rather than walking distance.
If arriving internationally and connecting to another international flight, check whether your airline requires you to reclaim and recheck bags, as through-check is not universal.
Peak congestion happens in the early morning and late evening banks tied to European and Middle Eastern carrier arrivals, so build in extra buffer around those times.
Uganda Airlines passengers connecting on its own network get smoother handling since ground staff can expedite transfers within the same terminal.
There is minimal true domestic network at EBB, so most 'connections' here are effectively international-to-international.

High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
There is only one terminal building at EBB, so passengers move on foot between arrivals, the central hall, and departure gates. International arrivals connecting onward must clear immigration and often a baggage recheck, while passengers already airside typically pass through a single shared security checkpoint before reaching the gate lounges.
