Why Choose a Fly-In Safari
Some of Uganda's parks are remote enough that a fly-in transfer changes the whole shape of a trip — what would be a full day's drive becomes a scenic hour in the air, with the extra day handed back to game drives, trekking, or simply resting.
Scheduled light-aircraft flights connect Entebbe to airstrips near Bwindi, Kidepo, Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth, so a shorter trip can still cover more ground without the toll of rough roads. It costs more than driving, but for travellers short on time — or simply done with long transfers — it's usually the better trade.
What Makes It Special
- Scheduled light-aircraft links to Bwindi, Kidepo, Murchison and Queen Elizabeth
- Hours of rough road swapped for a scenic flight over the Rift Valley
- More trip days spent in parks instead of transit
- Ideal for stacking multiple remote parks into one shorter trip
- Baggage and weight allowances arranged and briefed in advance
- Combinable with road transfers where a scenic drive is worth keeping
Perfect For
- Travellers with a week or less who still want multiple parks
- Anyone prioritising comfort over cost on transfer days
- Guests visiting far-flung Kidepo without losing two days to driving
- Return visitors who've done the road transfers and are ready to skip them
