Entebbe International Airport (EBB) sits on the shores of Lake Victoria and handles nearly all international arrivals. The airport is modern and manageable in size. From Entebbe, road transfers to Kampala take 45 minutes to 1.5 hours depending on traffic.
Domestic flights connect Entebbe and Kajjansi airstrip (near Kampala) to key safari destinations including Bwindi (Kihihi airstrip), Murchison Falls (Pakuba or Bugungu airstrips), Queen Elizabeth National Park (Kasese or Mweya airstrips), and Kidepo Valley (Kidepo airstrip). Airlines like Aerolink Uganda and Bar Aviation operate scheduled and charter flights.
Flying to safari parks saves considerable time. For example, while driving to Bwindi takes 8-10 hours, a flight takes approximately 1.5 hours. Many itineraries combine a flight one direction with a scenic drive the other to balance time efficiency with overland experiences.
