Complete Time Zone Guide for Uganda

SyncMyTime displays accurate time for Kampala. East Africa Time (EAT, UTC+3) is maintained year-round.

Time Zone History

Uganda adopted permanent UTC+3 using East Africa Time after independence from Britain in 1962. The country maintained EAT consistency even through Idi Amin's brutal regime and subsequent conflicts. No daylight saving time is observed. EAT reflects Uganda's East African position and facilitates coordination with regional neighbors.

Culture & Daily Rhythm

Ugandan daily life blends diverse cultures (Baganda, Banyankole, Basoga, 50+ ethnic groups) with British colonial influence. The workday typically runs 8 AM-5 PM. English and Swahili are official languages but Luganda dominates Kampala. Matoke (plantain) culture is central. Coffee and tea cultivation follow seasonal patterns.
