A domestic flight in Uganda is any flight that begins and ends within the country. Whether you’re flying from Entebbe to Arua, Kajjansi to Kisoro, or heading to a national park airstrip, your journey stays within Uganda’s borders. There’s no immigration or passport control, but you’ll still need valid identification to board.
