About Kasese Airport

  • As a major gateway to the wider area, the airport operates as a hub for nearby cities like Fort Portal and Ibanda.

  • June, July, and August are the busiest months at Kasese Airport. These mid-year months fall within Uganda's dry season, when wildlife viewing conditions are at their best and visitor numbers to Queen Elizabeth National Park and the Rwenzori Mountains typically peak.

  • March, April, and May are the quietest months at Kasese Airport. This period coincides with the long rainy season in western Uganda, when heavier rainfall makes travel and outdoor activities less predictable, leading to softer demand for arrivals across the board.
