Pope Francis will make his first visit to Africa later this year with stops in Uganda and the restive Central African Republic.
"I think it will be towards the end of the year because of the weather," the Pope said aboard the papal plane as he headed back to Rome after a visit in Asia, where he drew record crowds.
"The trip has been a bit delayed due to Ebola. It's a great responsibility," he added.
The Argentinian pontiff, the first Pope from Latin America, also confirmed plans to travel to Ecuador, Bolivia and Paraguay in July.
