hi! I've been to uganda and walked along many of those roads.
first, read this article, it is great: http://www.bikepacking.com/plan/traveling-tubeless-guide/
second, what season are you going in? if it's always dry the Nanos will be a very good bet.
if it's wet then you need something much, much more aggressive. I have seen the roads there, they are terrible at best after rain. You should take at least a Schwalbe Nobby Nic with the tough sidewall option if there is a chance of much rain.

Hi guys. Wondering if you anyone has some advice on MTB tyres for off road touring on a pretty epic trip across Uganda? My frame has clearance for 2.1 wide tyres and I’m planning on going tubeless. It will be mainly off road on dirt tracks connecting local villages but there will be some road riding too. I’m looking at the WTB Nano 2.1 at the moment but wondering if anyone has advice on some other options? Puncture protection and strong side walls is top of priorities.
Cheers,
Tom.
