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. All you need to do is contact us at Uyaphi, and we'll take care of everything from start to finish so you can focus on packing up your bags and getting ready for an amazing trip!
