I’m planning!!
Another sign of life. ;)
At the moment I need to check a lot of organizational things.
Started with the flight:
Which airline do I take?
Emirates, which is the cheapest from Germany, but I need to transfer in Dubai and on the flight back I would have one night stop at Dubai? It would be allowed to take 20 kg with me.
Or Brussels Airline, which are more expensive, aber I would have a direct flight from Brussels (Belgium) and could take 30 kg with me.
I will call the airlines in front to check if they have special conditions for volunteers, what I heard from someone.
What are the special conditions for volunteers regarding the visa? Ususally a 6 months multi entry visa costs 200 € at the Ugandan consulat in Berlin. With this visa I could leave Uganda in the meantime and travel back in. E.g. if I want to visit Kenia, where friends of my parents live.
Which abroad health insurance should I take?
Which other impacts could it have?
Those are things I can think of spontaneously. Off course I need to take care of other things too, like water filter,…

Planning
Two things - a visa into any of the East African countries will allow you to leave your country and go into another one and return without needing a multiple entry visa - i.e. if you get a single entry Ugandan visa you can leave to Kenya and return to Uganda without needing to get a new visa in Uganda...think that will save you lots of funds.
On the lonely planet website there is a link for travel insurance that so far looks decent...I've more research to do, but there you go.
Don't forget immunizations!
HAVE FUN!
