Safari & Leisure Charters

The problem. Uganda's parks are hours — sometimes days — apart by road. A trip that tries to see gorillas, savannah and the Nile can lose most of its time in a vehicle.

Asante's solution. Point-to-point flights between Entebbe, the parks, the lodges and the safari strips, so the days are spent on game drives. Scenic routings over the Nile, the Rift Valley escarpment or the crater lakes are an option on the way.

Aircraft capability. The Grand Caravan carries up to 8 with soft luggage, and lands on the short unpaved strips at the park gates.

Areas served. Bwindi, Mgahinga, Queen Elizabeth, Kibale, Murchison Falls, Kidepo Valley, Lake Mburo, plus regional links to the Serengeti and Maasai Mara ecosystems by arrangement.

Safety. Every routing is planned to daylight, weather minima and strip condition; loads are weighed and balanced before departure.

Typical use cases. Multi-park itineraries; lodge-to-lodge transfers; a single fly-in for a gorilla permit; honeymoon and special-occasion trips.

Passenger Charter Flights

Problem. Small groups still need the flexibility of a private aircraft — set times, a direct routing, the aircraft to themselves.

Solution. Whole-aircraft passenger charter on your itinerary, anywhere the Caravan can reach.

Use cases. Family travel, group tours, events, and connections that scheduled services don't cover.

VIP & Executive Travel

Problem. Senior travellers lose a day to a road trip for a two-hour meeting.

Solution. Discreet, direct flights with club seating, quiet handling at both ends and coordinated ground transfers.

Use cases. Ministerial and diplomatic movements, board visits, site inspections, same-day return trips.

Corporate & Business Flights

Problem. Teams working across regional sites need reliable, repeatable lift.

Solution. Scheduled-for-you flights and shuttle patterns, with invoicing and a single point of contact.

Use cases. Field-office visits, audit and inspection rounds, investor tours, staff rotations.

Mission Service

Humanitarian & NGO Missions

The problem. Programmes working in remote districts need aircraft they can count on — and sometimes at very short notice.

Asante's solution. Aviation support for projects, institutions and field operations: a single mission, a rotation, or dedicated lift held for a season, with standby capacity for surge days.

Aircraft capability. Passenger, cargo or mixed configurations; rear freight door; access to the unpaved strips near field sites.

Areas served. Nationwide, with a focus on Karamoja, West Nile, the north and the south-western border districts. Regional cross-border by arrangement.

Safety & compliance. UCAA-regulated operations, documented load control, and coordination with programme security and logistics teams.

Typical use cases. Staff and consultant movements, assessment missions, distribution of supplies, evacuation planning.

Medical Evacuation

The problem. A patient at a field site or a park needs to reach a hospital in Kampala, fast, with the right care en route.

Asante's solution. Coordinated medical evacuations with hospitals, insurers and certified medical teams. We handle aircraft, crew and clearances while the medical team prepares the patient.

Aircraft capability. The cabin takes a stretcher with room for accompanying medical crew and equipment; changeover from passenger config is quick.

Areas served. Nationwide and regional, subject to airstrip and daylight limits.

Typical use cases. Trauma and acute illness transfers, insurer-coordinated repatriations to Entebbe, inter-hospital moves.

In an emergency, call first: +256 393 002 277. Don't wait for email.

Cargo & Logistical Support

The problem. A critical part, a batch of supplies or high-value freight has to reach a remote site — and the road will take days.

Asante's solution. On-demand air cargo capacity, delivered with the same urgency and care as a VIP flight.

Aircraft capability. Seats-out cargo config through the rear freight door; mixed passenger-and-freight loads on request.

Areas served. Any airfield on the network and most licensed private strips.

Safety. Every load is weighed, documented and secured; dangerous goods are handled only where declared and permitted — see Dangerous goods.

Typical use cases. Spares for stranded equipment, relief supplies, medical consumables, secure documents and valuables.

Contract Flying

The problem. A project or programme needs guaranteed lift over months — predictable, budgeted and available on demand.

Asante's solution. Contract flying with dedicated aircraft, tailored configurations, and standby options for surge days.

Areas served. Wherever the contract requires, within the Caravan's range and the region.

Typical use cases. Oil & gas rotations, mining, infrastructure builds, conservation, media production, diplomatic support.

Common Questions

Charter FAQ

How much notice do you need?
For most charters, a day or two is comfortable. Medevac and urgent cargo can often be arranged within hours — call rather than email.
How is a charter priced?
By the aircraft and the routing — distance, flight time, positioning, airfield fees and any overnight for the crew. You get an exact figure before you commit.
Can you fly to a lodge airstrip that isn't on your list?
Usually. The Caravan can use most licensed private and lodge strips in Uganda and the region. Send the name or coordinates and we'll check it.
What can I bring?
Soft bags only, with a guideline of 15 kg checked plus 5 kg cabin per person — confirmed against the load for your flight. See Baggage allowance.
