DAR → EBB
Which side of the plane to sit from Julius Nyerere International Airport (Dar Es Salaam) to Entebbe International Airport (Entebbe)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior viewing experience, featuring the stunning coastlines of Zanzibar early in the flight and the majestic, snow-capped peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru mid-route.
Zanzibar and Pemba
Breathtaking views of the turquoise waters and white sand beaches of the Spice Islands.
Mount Kilimanjaro
Clear-day views of Africa's highest peak and its iconic glaciers, typically 30 minutes into the flight.
Mount Meru
The dramatic crater and peak of Tanzania's second-highest mountain near Arusha.
Lake Natron
The striking, otherworldly red and pink colors of the lake's salt-loving microorganisms.
Northern Lake Victoria
A wide-angle view of the vast inland sea as you approach the Ugandan border.
The right side is the 'mountain side'. For the best chance to see Kilimanjaro, book a flight departing before 10:00 AM before the cloud deck builds up. Use a polarized filter for photos to cut through the atmospheric haze.
Dar Es Salaam Cityscape
Panoramic views of the Tanzanian capital and the Indian Ocean coast during departure.
Serengeti National Park
Aerial perspective of the world-famous savannah plains and diverse wildlife habitats.
Southern Lake Victoria
The first sighting of the Great Lake as the aircraft crosses the Mwanza region coastline.
Ssese Archipelago
A cluster of eighty-four lush islands in the northwest of Lake Victoria seen during descent.
Opt for the left side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the East African plateau. It also provides the best views of the Entebbe peninsula and the botanical gardens during the final approach landing.
