How to Get to Uganda: Airline Options and Safari Itineraries

Uganda is a country that is endowed with an incredible diversity of landscapes, cultures and wildlife. Uganda has something for everyone, whether you are looking to explore the jungles in search of gorillas or chimpanzees or take in the sights of the many beautiful lakes and rivers.

Many people assume that getting into Uganda is difficult; we are here to debunk that myth. On this page, we will take a look at the different airline options and safari itineraries available for getting to Uganda.

In a nutshell, getting to Uganda is easy!

For those arriving by air, Entebbe International Airport on the banks of Lake Victoria is the only International Airport in the whole of Uganda (see below the list of international carriers that land at Entebbe). As one can see from the list, quite a few big players in the airline industry provide flights daily in and out of Uganda (Entebbe), including Qatar, Emirates, and Ethiopian Airlines.

Entebbe International Airport is close to a whole range of hotels across most budgets, all within 20 to 25 minutes drive away.

Another option of getting in Uganda is via a road-based safari itinerary that takes in either Kenya or Tanzania combined with Uganda and gorilla trekking as part and parcel of that itinerary.

As a side note: We at Uyaphi.com are able to book at very competitive prices any of the below airlines when one is looking for a safari package into Uganda.

You don't need to worry about booking your own flight or figuring out what time of year will be best for visiting because we've done all the research for you.

Uganda Travel Topics

  • Uganda the Pearl of Africa

    There are certain magical names in Africa, names which conjure up images of mystery, of exotic fauna and flora and even of a certain danger. I had the pleasure of visiting one of these places last year; the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in the south west corner of Uganda, home to troupes of mountain gorillas.

  • Popular Uganda Destinations

    When I was a younger man, the name of Uganda was evocative of the dangers and thrills of Africa, the superlative wildlife, the psychopathic dictator Idi Amin, the raid on Entebbe and the multiple civil wars.

  • A Special Gorilla Family

    This year marks the twentieth anniversary of a very special family, the Mubare family group in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in the south western corner of Uganda. They are, of course, gorillas. Why are they so special?

    The capital of the pearl of Africa is booming. Like many other African cities, a burgeoning middle class enlarged by a stable Ugandan government and consistent economic growth over the last two decades has created a dynamic city.

  • Bwindi Safari Experience Uganda

    Called "The Pearl of Africa" by Winston Churchill and in more recent memory the scene of great civil war under the mad dictator Idi Amin, it throws up many images. Most people go to Uganda today to see the famed mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei).

  • White Water Rafting Uganda

    The best Whitewater rafting on the Nile River adventure ever started from the Nile River Explorers backpackers in Jinja. We were given a very thorough safety briefing by our guides, which included multiple compulsory practice flips in the boat.
