We are getting well set to welcome you to the Pearl of Africa.


Dear travel partners and our lovely guests, it’s been a while without adventuring. COVID 19 pandemic has affected travel globally. However, we can now see some light at the end of the tunnel and we are hopeful that soon, we will travel again.

With several countries relaxing the lock-down and reopening their economies, Uganda is getting prepared to relax the same and soon, we will have the international airport and the borders reopened to visitors.

Uganda Civil Aviation Authority (UCAA) has tightened measures to contain the spread of Coronavirus ahead of planned opening of Entebbe International Airport. In the new measures, departing passengers will now be expected to arrive at the airport at least four hours before boarding to go through the Health Port screening procedures. They will also be required to present a valid health certificate from the Ministry of Health or undergo a rapid test at the airport before departure. 

All arriving and departing passengers will also be expected to wear face masks and exercise social distancing when airlines resume business. Some of the changes at the airport facilities will include providing more space for boarding lounges, installation of automatic sensor non-touchable doors and non-touchable taps, e- boarding pass readers and automated document readers to limit excessive scanning of passports. Three big tents have already been erected to ensure passengers observe physical distancing.

We are getting well set to reopen and explore the Pearl of Africa with you. We will share the re-opening SOPs that will be followed.

Looking forward to hosting you soon. For any travel inquiries, kindly get in touch with us with the contact details below:
