Uganda Airlines takes off inaugural flight to Accra, Ghana. This is an intentional increase in the direct routes we operate. As we prepare for the upcoming AFCON, such moves are opening up doors. But also generally linking up destinations.
Kudos 👏

🎙️ @ivan_kahangire , Team Lead of the Virunga Gorilla Marathon, reveals that the idea for the marathon was born out of a desire to bring 10,000 people to Kisoro after a hiking experience across the region’s magnificent mountains.
Built on four pillars: economic development, tourism promotion, talent identification and an annual community-focused cause, the marathon is positioning Kisoro on the global tourism map.
Through its partnership with the Mountain Gorilla Festival, the team aims to showcase Uganda’s mountain gorillas, promote environmental conservation through tree planting with Stanbic, and attract international sports tourists.
As a member of the International Trail Running Association (ITRA), the marathon sees an opportunity to connect Kisoro to a global network of trail runners and adventure travellers, bringing tourism revenue and new opportunities to local communities.
