Entebbe International Airport, located near Lake Victoria and 40 kilometres from Kampala, serves as Uganda’s primary air transport gateway. As you prepare for your journey, you will find this airport, while compact, is efficiently organised to ensure a smooth departure experience.

Getting to the airport is simplest via a hire car or taxi. If travelling from Kampala, we recommend arranging your taxi in advance through your hotel concierge to secure an official, metered vehicle. Airport transfer services are also available and can be pre-booked. Limited but high-demand parking is available if you choose to drive yourself. Local buses run from Entebbe town, but they can be infrequent and crowded.

You should arrive at least two hours before your scheduled flight boarding time. Departures are handled through the main terminal. Please be aware that security checks are thorough, and baggage searches may take some time, so ensure all your travel paperwork is ready beforehand.

The airport provides adequate facilities for your needs. You can browse the Duty Free shops for a range of goods, and vendors offer travel essentials, books, magazines and drinks. For a snack, several food outlets are available. Look for mother-and-baby changing areas and take advantage of the VIP lounge if you are travelling business or first class, offering you comfortable seating and Wi-Fi access in certain parts of the terminal.

Almaty is Kazakhstan's vibrant cultural and economic heart, uniquely blending a modern urban experience with the breathtaking, snow-capped Tian Shan mountain range as its backdrop. Known as a 'garden city' for its wide, leafy avenues, you can immerse yourself in local culture at the historic Green Bazaar (Zelyony Bazaar), sampling fresh regional produce and authentic Kazakh delicacies. For stunning city views, take the scenic cable car to Kok Tobe Hill. Standing 1,100 metres high, this hilltop park offers panoramic vistas over the city and the surrounding Trans-Ili Alatau peaks, culminating in a visit to the iconic Beatles monument.
