Which side of the plane to sit from Entebbe International Airport (Entebbe) to Kilimanjaro International Airport (Kilimanjaro)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides an unparalleled view of the crown jewels of East Africa, including the surreal pink hues of Lake Natron and the most direct, stunning perspective of Mount Kilimanjaro's snow-capped peak during the final descent.

Lake Victoria Shoreline
Watch the lush, green peninsulas of Uganda fade away as you cross the world's largest tropical lake.
Lake Natron
A striking view of the bright red and pink alkaline lake, famous for its massive flamingo colonies.
Mount Meru
Fly past the rugged, horseshoe-shaped crater of Tanzania's second-highest mountain just before landing.
Mount Kilimanjaro
The ultimate highlight; the left side offers the best angle of the Kibo peak and glaciers as you approach the airport.
Serengeti-Mara Ecosystem
Aerial views of the northern corridors where the Great Migration crossing often takes place.
Book a flight scheduled before 10:00 AM for the highest probability of seeing Kilimanjaro's summit without cloud cover. Sit several rows ahead of the wing to ensure your view of the mountain peaks is not obstructed by the engine or wing structure. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing for the best shot of Mount Meru and Kilimanjaro appearing together.

Ssese Islands
Beautiful views of the forested archipelago in Lake Victoria shortly after takeoff from Entebbe.
Central Serengeti Plains
Expansive views of the golden savannah and the iconic 'kopjes' (rock formations) that dot the landscape.
Ngorongoro Highlands
The distant but distinct silhouette of the massive volcanic highlands and the rim of the world-famous crater.
Great Rift Valley
Look down into the dramatic escarpments and geological shifts that define the East African landscape.
Arusha City
A clear view of the bustling 'safari capital' of Tanzania nestled at the base of the mountains.
The right side is ideal for capturing the sheer scale of the African savannah. Use a polarising filter on your lens to cut through the haze often found over the Serengeti. During the Great Migration season (July–October), keep a close eye on the plains for moving lines of wildebeest which are often visible even from cruising altitude.
