Uganda Fly-in Safaris
Encounter Africa Safaris
Uganda Fly-in Safaris for the Time-Conscious Traveller
When one thinks of a safari adventure, images of open-top Land Rovers navigating the African savannah often come to mind. However, there's a more thrilling and convenient way to explore Uganda, the "Pearl of Africa" - through fly-in safaris.
This unique approach allows you to experience the country's diverse landscapes, magnificent wildlife, and cultural richness from the skies, providing an unparalleled perspective on this captivating nation.
Fly-in safaris are a unique way to explore Uganda, providing a bird's eye view of the country's breathtaking landscapes. These adventures begin with a flight to Entebbe International Airport, the country's only international airport. From there, travellers are transported to the heart of the country's national parks and reserves via smaller aircraft, providing access to remote and hard-to-reach areas.
This mode of safari transportation not only saves time but also allows visitors to maximise their time on the ground, as opposed to spending hours on the road.
Imagine soaring over the lush Ugandan landscape, marvelling at the beauty of the African terrain from the air. This not only reduces travel time but also presents you with an opportunity to enjoy stunning aerial views, giving you a preview of the natural wonders awaiting you on the ground.
Flying Between Entebbe and Uganda's National Parks
We can arrange a fly-in safari to visit Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, as well as Queen Elizabeth National Park, Kibale Forest National Park, and Murchison Falls National Park. At each park, our guides and vehicles will be waiting to transfer you to your lodge and take you on game drives and other activities.
If you're heading to the southern sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park, known as Ishasha and famous for its tree-climbing lions, you'll land at Kihihi Airport.
For the northern sector of Murchison Falls National Park, known as Paraa, you'll land at Pakuba. Conversely, if you're visiting the southern sector of Murchison Falls National Park, you'll land in Bugungu.
If you're interested in flying to Kidepo National Park, please contact us for information on how to combine it with Murchison Falls National Park.
Aerolink and Bar Aviation operate charter flights to all of Uganda's national parks. If you're looking for privacy, you can choose this option. Charter flights can even land at small airfields, reducing the drive time from the airfield to your lodge.
