Kajjansi Airfield is a small general aviation facility located approximately 15 kilometres south of Kampala, Uganda, situated near the northern shores of Lake Victoria. It serves primarily as a base for light aircraft operations, flight training, charter services, and recreational flying rather than scheduled commercial passenger flights. The airfield plays a modest but consistent role in Uganda's light aviation sector, hosting flying schools and private operators.

Dining options within the airfield itself are extremely limited, with only basic refreshments available on-site. The nearby Kajjansi township offers simple local eateries serving Ugandan staples such as rolex, matoke, and grilled meats. Entebbe town, roughly 10 kilometres south, provides a wider selection of restaurants and cafés suitable for travellers.
- Confirm your charter or flight school booking well in advance as operations are small-scale and schedules can be informal.
- Carry cash in Ugandan shillings as card payment facilities at the airfield are limited.
- Entebbe International Airport (EBB) handles all commercial scheduled flights; Kajjansi is for general and light aviation only.
- Traffic on Entebbe Road connecting Kampala to the airfield can be heavy during morning and evening peak hours — allow extra travel time.
