Lake Victoria Archipelago
Dramatic aerial views of the Ssese Islands and the rugged coastline of the world's largest tropical lake immediately after takeoff.
Murchison Falls Region
The flight path skirts the western edge of Uganda's largest national park, offering glimpses of the Victoria Nile and rolling savannah.
The Albert Nile
Spectacular views of the Nile as it flows north from Lake Albert, appearing as a wide silver ribbon through the landscape.
Sudd Wetland Fringe
As you approach Juba, witness the beginning of the Sudd, one of the world's largest freshwater wetlands, marked by intricate water channels.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side is particularly rewarding for photographers during the late afternoon as the 'golden hour' light reflects off the Nile. Keep an eye out for the distinct change in vegetation from the dense greenery of Entebbe to the arid shrubs of South Sudan.

Lake Kyoga System
View the unique, finger-like extensions of Lake Kyoga and its surrounding swampy grasslands in central Uganda.
Gulu Urban Center
The largest city in Northern Uganda is often visible as a sprawling grid of red-roofed buildings and bustling markets.
Nimule Border Hills
Rugged topographical features and rocky outcrops marking the official border crossing between Uganda and South Sudan.
White Nile Confluence
The river comes back into view on the right side as the plane descends into Juba, showing the busy river traffic near the city.
The right side is best for morning flights if you want the landscape illuminated by the rising sun. During the rainy season (April-October), this side provides excellent views of massive convective cloud formations building over the Ugandan interior. Look for the Nimule National Park area just as you cross the border for potential elephant sightings near the riverbanks.
