Home FAQ Cost & budget

Are domestic flights expensive?

Direct answer

Relative to road travel, yes—AeroLink and Bar Aviation charge roughly 0–0 one-way from Entebbe to Kihihi (Buhoma/Ruhija) or Kisoro (Rushaga/Nkuringo/Mgahinga), about 1 hour 15 minutes versus 8–10 hours by 4×4. Charters to Kidepo run ,200–,500 per leg. Flights save time and fatigue but add 0–0 round-trip per person on fly-in gorilla circuits.

Overview
