Kenya Direct Flight to United States of America to boost Uganda gorilla trekking holidays.
A direct flight from Kenya Airways to the US will increase tourism, business, and gorilla trekking in Uganda. A direct flight from Nairobi to the United States of America will be operational as of October 28, 2018, according to Kenya Airways. In order to kick off this vague initiative, tickets are being offered on these specific days.
Anyone planning on flying directly to or from the US may now purchase a round-trip ticket for USD869.00. Travelers hopping from the United States to Kenya (East Africa) may find this direct trip to be the most convenient, but it won’t be cheap. Supposedly, it will save travel time by six hours. Tourists may look forward to a sixteen-hour journey instead of the typical twenty-two-hour lengthy flights.

could increase demand for gorilla trekking vacations in Uganda—how?
A direct flight from Kenya Airways to the United States will undoubtedly have an effect on Kenya’s economy and tourism, just as a direct flight from Kenya Airways to the United States would increase demand for gorilla trekking vacations in Uganda.
Gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is a popular tourist attraction in Uganda, but many would-be visitors have passed on the opportunity due to the high cost, lengthy travel time, and limited accessibility to the country.
Tourists from all over the world flock to Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to undertake gorilla trekking. The US is a popular starting point for these adventures. Tourists from the US and other countries who go to Kenya for safaris often choose to add gorilla trekking in Rwanda or Uganda to their itinerary so they can see mountain gorillas in Volcanoes, Bwindi Impenetrable, or Mgahinga National Parks.
The East African region—which includes Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Burundi—will undoubtedly see an uptick in tourism and commerce as a result of Kenya Airways’ direct flights to the United States. With more than four nonstop flights each day between Nairobi and Entebbe International Airport, getting to Uganda and, from there, to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park for your gorilla trekking vacation in Uganda couldn’t be easier.
Because Kenya Airways also flies to Rwanda, some visitors opt to enter Uganda via Kigali International Airport. This makes it easier for tourists to explore Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga National Park.
Positioning Uganda as an inexpensive gorilla trekking destination in East Africa is crucial if Kenya Airways wants to increase tourism, commerce, and gorilla trekking vacations to the country. Since the Uganda Wildlife Authority has kept the price of gorilla licenses at USD800, Uganda stands to gain a lot from the recent hike in the price of Rwandan permits, which went up from USD750.00 to USD1500.00 per person.
An additional perk of visiting Uganda is the opportunity to spend as much as four hours in the company of mountain gorillas at the new habituation experience taking place in the park’s southern section, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. But that being said, there are a plethora of other stunning national parks in Uganda that may be included in your gorilla trekking vacations, such as Queen Elizabeth, Murchison Falls, Kibale Forest, and many more.
Now that a direct flight from Kenya to the US is an option, there’s no reason for Uganda to not join Kenya in celebrating the success of gorilla trekking vacations in that country. Get in touch with Katland Safaris if you want to know more about their gorilla trekking vacations in Uganda.
