The national parks of Uganda are the main magnet attracting thousands of safari fans and other entertainments to this African state against the backdrop of wildlife and its inhabitants. Flights of various airlines land at Uganda airport every day, which can also be used by tourists from Russia. There are no direct lines yet, and with connections in Africa and Europe, the journey here will take at least 11 hours.
How to get there from Moscow?
- The most inexpensive options are usually offered by the Turks. You will have to fly from Sheremetyevo - a Turkish Airlines flight through Istanbul. If the connection is going to be long enough, Turkish Airlines are ready to offer passengers free sightseeing tours around Istanbul. It makes sense to go to the city on your own - you don't need a visa, and the M1 metro line will take transit passengers to the main Istanbul sights in just half an hour.
- The Dubai airline Emirates, despite its reputation as one of the most luxurious in the world, periodically organizes air ticket sales at quite affordable prices. The flight to Uganda is via Dubai.
- The Dutch regularly send their aircraft to Entebbe in Uganda from Amsterdam. Travel time from Moscow together with a change in the Dutch capital will be about 14 hours.
Uganda International Airport
The only air harbor in the country that has the right to receive flights from abroad is located in Entebbe. The city where the airport is located is located on the shores of Lake Victoria, and the capital Kampala will have to go about 40 km.
The first terminal and tower of the Uganda Capital International Airport were built in the 50s of the last century, and the last reconstruction took place here in 2007. In the nearest plans of the government of the country - the next modernization in the light of the ever-increasing requirements for the safety of international transport.
