looking to go to Uganda mid October, returning Sunday
3rd November ... after visiting the town of
Pakwach for an
event at 2pm
the best outbound flight option seems to be the Kenya Airways LHR - NBO departing 20:00 arriving 06:30 with a connection on to EBB departing at 07:55 arriving into Kampala at 09:15
for the return journey the KLM flight departs EBB at 23:30 arriving into Schipol at 05:55 with a connection to LHR departing at 07:15 and scheduled to arrive in London at 07:40
the outbound KLM flight leaves at 11:00 which uses up an extra day's holiday, although it does have the advantage of stopping in Kigali enroute to EBB
total for the Kenya Airways o/bound and KLM i/bound comes to 655 gbp with expedia, and plenty of other websites
for those not as restricted by timings,
kayak has the most flexible options, with
travelocity offering a 3 day +/- option which results in more or less the same flights ... bizarrely
google flights has what looks like really good flexibility functionality, but it doesn't bring up the same (cheap) flights that it produces on standard search !
anyway, all the flight searches point to Turkish airlines being the cheapest - around 480 gbp
whilst in Uganda, to get some ideas for what to do (via the
Tour Radar website) come from
Gorilla Tours,
Dragoman,
Peregrine,
Absolute Africa,
