Major FAQ-Uganda
Airport and Arrival Information
Who will meet me in the airport? What should I do if I get delayed or miss my flight? When should I arrive?
Entebbe is the arrival point, so please book your flight to arrive at Entebbe International Airport . Most of IFRE's projects are located in Jinja - a small town approximately 70 km outside of Entebbe . One of IFRE's local representatives will await your arrival at the airport. Participants should ensure pick-up by sending their flight information to IFRE's offices - a follow-up call is suggested as participants' departure dates draw closer.
If participants are delayed or miss their flight, it is highly suggested that you call our offices or coordinator and wait for him/her. In the event that a participant gets lost, it is suggested that they go to the contact hotel (provided within the pre-departure package) using a taxi service. Once participants make contact with IFRE's representative or in-country coordinator, they will then be transferred to IFRE's respective offices/hostel.
Volunteers arriving in Uganda are advised to arrive one day prior to the start of the program. In the event that participants arrive more than one day early or remain in Uganda after the close of the program, they will then be responsible for their own room and food expenses.
