I recall when I tried to run a traceoute while connected to a Vodafone mi-fi in Kampala when I was there last, same as you. Ping worked, though.
When on the road, I tether my laptop to my phone to run over 4G. Traceroute isn't blocked there, so it could be network-specific. Also, remember that most mobile operators are running private IP addresses inside their core - so in such a case, you'll be hard-pressed to get a traceroute response from their nodes. Mark.
