The United Kingdom, Canada, and US, and numerous others advise Uganda is unsafe for foreigners due to threats of terrorism and crime, often targeting foreigners.

While northern Uganda continues to be less safe - particularly near the South Sudan border - the last major terrorist attack in Uganda was a series of attacks in 2021 and they were not targeting foreigners. Many of tourist go to Uganda safely every year.

Yeah, massive overkill here from the State Dept. You're more likely to be a victim of terrorism in the US. Come to think of it Abrego is a victim of state terrorism right now.

Uganda is a welcoming and easy East African country to visit. Hundreds and thousands of tourists visits each year. I have been frequently.

I'm sure, I have no direct experience myself. I'm merely pointing out what the US govt says about the country it wants to send someone to.
