Uganda Airlines to introduce 3 times weekly flights to Zanzibar
Uganda national flag carrier – Uganda Airlines is set to launch flights from Entebbe in Uganda to the Tanzanian coastal town of Zanzibar from 16 December, adding yet another key destination in East Africa.
The new 3x weekly flights to Zanzibar from Entebbe will be operated by a CRJ900 in dual-class configuration with 76 economy seats and 12 first class seats.
Uganda Airlines already flies from Entebbe airport to the Kenya’s Nairobi and Mombasa City, Juba in South Sudan, Bujumbura in Burundi, Dar es Salaam and Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and Somalia’s capital Mogadishu with Zanzibar (ZNZ) becoming the carrier’s ninth destination.
The flight UR320/1 combines with Dar es Salaam, which is served daily already out of Entebbe and three weekly flights, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, will as of the 16th of December route on to Zanzibar before then returning to Entebbe nonstop.
The new Uganda airlines service further opens up the Swahili coast for leisure, but also business travelers from Uganda, after the launch of Mombasa a month ago.
Zanzibar has in recent years established herself as a premier 5-star destination with a number of internationally branded resorts operating across the so called ‘Spice Island‘ but also offers affordable smaller hotels suitable for family vacations on a budget.
Guided tours through ‘Stone Town‘ and visits to spice farms and the slave caves are just some of the activities which visitors can enjoy while on the island.
