How To Go To Uganda Safari

The entry point to Uganda is Entebbe International Airport, which is located in Entebbe Town. Entebbe Town is nearly 46km from Uganda’s capital, Kampala. Further transfer from the airport is done by vehicle. Normally, your tour operator receives you from the airport and takes care of your further transportation.
