UK to Entebbe

Not currently — RwandAir connects through its Kigali hub, and with just a 1h 05m second leg it's the shortest connecting hop in our entire network, at 13h 55m fastest. Bags are checked all the way through to EBB and the Kigali connection is guaranteed on a single ticket.

Both: UK passport holders apply online for Uganda's e-visa — or the smarter option, the East African Tourist Visa: one $100 stamp valid 90 days across Uganda, Rwanda and Kenya, ideal if you're touring our network. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory on arrival; get vaccinated at least 10 days before departure. Our team walks you through the full entry checklist so nothing surprises you at check-in.

Great question — we fly to both gateways. For Uganda's Bwindi from the Ugandan side, Entebbe is the classic route (an 8–10 hour road journey or a domestic hop to Kihihi/Kisoro). For Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park, Kigali wins — just 2.5–4 hours by road. Many gorilla fans now fly into one and out of the other; we build those open-jaw itineraries with protected connections and the East African Tourist Visa covers the border crossings.

On a through-ticketed RwandAir booking you're protected: the airline rebooks you on the next available Entebbe flight at no cost. Both legs are the same carrier, your bags are transferred for you, and our 24/7 team monitors the connection in real time.

Economy includes 23kg checked plus 7kg cabin on every leg, with the checked bag tagged straight through to EBB. Extra allowance — popular for family visits, NGO and mission travel — can be pre-booked through us at better rates than airport prices.

Yes — Entebbe lakeside hotels, Kampala stays, Bwindi gorilla permits and lodges, Jinja rafting days and Murchison Falls safaris with vetted local partners can all be added to your booking. For the overnight Kigali connection, we can also arrange a transit hotel with shuttle so you rest between flights.
