Getting to TOMIRA Mityana Uganda

Getting to Mityana Uganda takes time.  From North America, the trip usually takes more than a day.  Typically, planes fly from North America to London or Amsterdam and then on to Entebbe in Uganda (via British Airways or KLM).

Flight costs vary depending on the country of departure, current economic conditions and fuel prices. Typically, prices range from $1400 US to more than $2000 US.  In addition to the cost of flights, a Uganda entry visa which costs $50 US must be purchased.  While this visa may be obtained in advance through an embassy, it can also be purchased in the airport from local Ugandan officials.  If you intend to purchase a visa at the Entebbe airport, you will need to have the $50 US payment in cash when you land.

Once in Uganda, we will happily arrange to meet you or your team at the Entebbe airport.  We have vehicles that can take several persons and their luggage and we can easily arrange vans or busses to transport medium to large groups.  Please contact us in advance to discuss transport arrangements for you or your team.  The trip from Entebbe airport skirts the Uganda capital city of Kampala and takes 1.5 to 2 hours to get to Mityana.  Mityana is due-west from Kampala on highway that is partially paved and partially dirt.
