If you're flying into Entebbe International Airport, near Kampala, Uganda, the flight time can vary in length from 9h 30min to 11h 55min with a stopover in East Africa. If you’re flying out of Johannesburg (JNB) to Entebbe (EBB), convenient options include Kenya Airways and Ethiopian Airlines. For Entebbe flight deals from the cities of Cape Town (CPT) and Durban (DUR), an option is to fly on to JNB before you connect to an onward flight that serves Entebbe. If so, consider adding at least 3h to the domestic leg of your journey from Durban and 5h to the domestic leg of your journey from Cape Town.
Through an interline agreement with Emirates, it is possible to fly on Airlink non-stop from OR Tambo International Airport (JNB) in Johannesburg, South Africa, to Entebbe International Airport (EBB), Entebbe, Uganda. When considering Entebbe flight deals, however, a far more cost-effective way to fly is with a single stop-over. Kenya Airways via Nairobi (NBO) and Ethiopian Airlines via Addis Ababa (ADD) offer good connectivity from Johannesburg to Entebbe. Both Ethiopian Airlines and Kenya Airways offer direct flights from Cape Town (CPT) to Addis Ababa and Nairobi without you being routed via Johannesburg. From Durban (DUR), a good option is to connect via Johannesburg, as neither Kenya Airways not Ethiopian Airlines offer flights from the city. It is also possible to fly with Emirates to Dubai (DXB) and then connect on a flight to Entebbe, but this means flying north past Entebbe and then rerouting yourself back down south to Uganda, which will add a considerable amount of time to your journey.
Entebbe International is the main airport serving all of Uganda, but the capital and largest city is Kampala, which is some distance away. The Pineapple Express shuttle bus connects the airport to the capital city with trips three times a day, and it’s a very long ride. The cost of a one-way ticket is about R180.
Uganda’s capital city is very close to Lake Victoria, one of Africa’s Great Lakes and known to be the source of the great Nile River. It is also Africa’s largest lake and the world’s largest tropical lake. It lies in the vicinity of East Africa’s Great Rift Valley, which is a beautiful tourist area. Kampala is also a great place to kick off your African gorilla trek and tour. The rare mountain gorilla is still an endangered species that was first made famous in the film "Gorillas in the Mist." The Uganda Museum and Ugandan National Theatre are also located in Kampala. Other interesting things to see and do include the Kasubi Royal Tombs, which house the regal tombs of the Buganda people, and the many markets of the city, which offer the tourist Africa-style shopping.
South Africans making their way to Entebbe, Uganda, will need a passport and an e-visa (may be applied for online) or a visa on arrival to enter the country.
