For Golfers in the UK seeking more than just another incredible Golf round with adventure, East Africa is calling with a promise of adventure, beauty, and purpose. Envision yourself teeing off beneath vast African skies—and just days later, standing face-to-face with a family of endangered mountain gorillas in a mist-shrouded forest. This is no ordinary holiday. It’s a rare opportunity to blend world-class golf with one of the planet’s most profound wildlife encounters – all in one unforgettable journey through Uganda and Rwanda.
Seamless access from the UK
London Gatwick Airport opened its doors to Uganda airlines on 18th May 2025. Getting to East Africa has never been easier. On May 18, 2025, Uganda Airlines launched direct flights between London Gatwick and Entebbe, restoring a vital air link for the first time in nearly a decade. With four weekly flights on the modern Airbus A330-800neo, UK travelers can now directly reach Uganda in comfort and style, making golf safari experiences and gorilla treks more accessible than ever.
Meanwhile, Rwanda is also stepping up. RwandAir now offers non-stop flights from London to Kigali, allowing travelers to explore Rwanda’s lush landscapes and gorilla habitats with ease—or combine both countries for a seamless cross-border Golf adventure. Whether you begin in Uganda or Rwanda, the path to your African experience is now smoother, shorter, and more luxurious.
Golf Among Africa’s Natural Wonders
Golf in East Africa is unlike anywhere else in the world. In Uganda, the Lake Victoria Serena Golf Resort & Spa boasts a championship course set along the calm shores of Africa’s largest lake, where gentle breezes and palm-lined fairways create a serene atmosphere just a few kilometers outside Kampala.
Entebbe Golf Club, with its colonial-era charm and lakeside setting, offers a more relaxed, historic experience. Nestled amid forest and birdlife, it’s a tranquil escape into nature with every follow – through swing.
Across the border in Rwanda, the newly upgraded Kigali Golf Resort meets international standards and features lush fairways stretching across the region’s iconic green hills. The nearby Nyarutarama Golf Club, surrounded by trees and tucked into the heart of Kigali, offers a warm local ambiance and peaceful setting, perfect for travelers who want to stay close to the city while immersed in nature.
