Carriers approved for this route
Not all airlines accept live animals on this route. We know which carriers to use and how to book.
Routing from Prague to Entebbe
Prague Václav Havel Airport (PRG) has no direct service to Entebbe. Two main routings are practical for Czech Republic-to-Uganda pet cargo.
Via Brussels: Czech Airlines or Lufthansa connects PRG to Brussels Zaventem (BRU), where Brussels Airlines operates its established BRU-EBB East Africa service. This is a two-leg journey via a single European hub. Confirm live animal cargo acceptance with Brussels Airlines Cargo for the BRU-EBB leg.
Via Frankfurt and Addis Ababa: Czech Airlines or Lufthansa connects PRG to Frankfurt (FRA), then Ethiopian or Lufthansa Cargo to ADD, then Ethiopian Cargo on ADD-EBB. FRA is a major European cargo hub for African routes and Ethiopian Cargo has the widest live animal programme in Africa.
SVA export health certificate for Uganda
The Czech EU pet passport applies to intra-EU travel only. For Uganda, the required document is an official health certificate issued by an authorised official veterinarian and endorsed by the Státní veterinární správa (SVA - State Veterinary Administration) at svscr.cz.
Contact SVA or your regional veterinary authority to identify an authorised official vet. The certificate must be issued within 10 days of travel. Book the appointment and allow time for SVA endorsement within that window.
Confirm the certificate format meets Uganda’s specific requirements. A transport agent experienced in Czech exports to Africa can verify the correct format for MAAIF inspection.
MAAIF: Uganda's import permit requirement
Uganda’s Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries (MAAIF) at maaif.go.ug manages companion animal imports. The MAAIF permit is the prerequisite document for Uganda entry. Apply at least 8-10 weeks before travel with your pet’s microchip number, species, breed, vaccination history, and travel date.
Follow up after submitting to confirm progress. On arrival at Entebbe International Airport, MAAIF inspects the permit alongside the SVA health certificate. No quarantine applies for compliant arrivals.
