In Uganda, Netflix can be enjoyed for $7.99 (about Ugx 28,000) per month at www.netflix.com/ug/ .  For starters, Netflix is offering you one month free trial, however, you must sign-up with a working credit or debit card with some money to enjoy this offer. Also since it’s an internet service, you need an active internet package of not less than 1GB to use the service. We warn that you can’t use “MBs” to use Netflix. DSTV has for long monopolized the video content space in the African content often offering limited or too expensive content options. Also Multi-choice hasn’t taken Video-on-demand or watch-when-you-want kind of services seriously until recently with products like DSTV Box Office or DSTV Catchup. When Netflix touted its plans of entering the African market, Multi-choice released ShowMax in south Africa, its answer Netflix.

You can actually rent or stream a movie from the play store for Ugx 25,000. Obviously this can’t compare to Netflix’s offering.
