Places in Uganda you can fly to; faster & comfortable fly-in safaris between Uganda’s national parks.

With Fly-in Safaris, it has never been easier to explore the magnificent national parks and secluded attractions of Uganda. You can reach your destination faster and more pleasantly than by road by using scheduled or charter flights between places. And, you’ll also get a chance to see the big country of Uganda from an eagle’s eye view to give a new perspective to your vacation.

Uganda’s most famous safari sights are a long way from the capital and the only international airport at Entebbe, so getting there by road is time-consuming and tiring. Fly between national parks and rural destinations in a light aircraft, so you have time and energy for more significant experiences on your Ugandan trip.

If you are a solo traveller, a couple or a small group of two, we highly recommend flying between national parks to save time and transportation costs. If you are travelling in a large company, driving can be more economical and fun, but if you are on a budget and on a tight schedule, an aerial transfer is worth the price tag.

Aerolink is Uganda’s largest domestic airline, running a dependable schedule of charter and scheduled flights connecting the country’s key national parks. Their network is large and the western Uganda safari circuit is the one most flown into, even linking as far as Masai Mara in Kenya.

Fly between the national parks of Uganda and add new heights to your African safari journey! Fly for the convenience and comfort.
