Lake Tanganyika Shoreline
Immediate views of the northern tip of the world's longest freshwater lake and the Bujumbura waterfront upon departure.
Virunga Mountains
On clear days, the jagged peaks of the volcanic chain, including Mount Karisimbi, are visible to the northwest.
Albertine Rift Valley
Witness the steep ridges and deep valleys of the Western Rift, creating a rugged and high-contrast landscape.
Rwenzori Range
Far in the distance to the north, the snow-capped 'Mountains of the Moon' may peek through the clouds.
Morning flights (07:00-10:00) are highly recommended to avoid the convective cloud cover that typically forms over the mountains by midday. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes into the flight for the best mountain views. Request a seat ahead of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the Rift Valley escarpments.

Land of a Thousand Hills
Continuous views of the intensely farmed, terraced green hills of central Burundi and Rwanda.
Kagera River Meanders
The winding path of the Kagera River, a major Nile tributary, snaking through the wetlands below.
Ssese Islands
A stunning archipelago of 84 islands scattered across the blue waters of Lake Victoria during the descent.
Entebbe Peninsula
A beautiful aerial view of the lush, green Entebbe peninsula surrounded by the vastness of Lake Victoria.
The right side is best for the final approach into Entebbe (EBB). As the plane banks for landing, you get an expansive view of Lake Victoria's coastline. During the dry seasons (June-August), the lack of haze provides a much clearer view of the intricate Ssese Island formations.
