Uganda Airlines Launches Thrice-Weekly Flights to Zanzibar, Boosting Regional Tourism
Uganda Airlines has introduced three direct weekly flights from Entebbe to Zanzibar, strengthening East Africa’s tourism connectivity and offering enhanced access to the island’s northern coastline, particularly the popular Nungwi Beach. This new route supports growing demand for intra-African leisure travel and presents opportunities to link Uganda’s inland safari experiences with Zanzibar’s beachfront offerings.
Nungwi Beach, renowned for its year-round swimmable waters and lively atmosphere, stands out as a top coastal destination. The flight connection is expected to benefit tour operators by simplifying multi-destination itineraries and enabling better promotion of East Africa’s diverse attractions. The service also supports Zanzibar’s broader appeal during both peak and off-peak seasons and aligns with increasing interest in culturally immersive and sustainable tourism
