Which side of the plane to sit from Entebbe International Airport (Entebbe) to Kasese Airport (Kasese)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a front-row seat to the legendary Rwenzori Mountains, also known as the 'Mountains of the Moon', which dominate the horizon during the final approach into Kasese.
Entebbe Peninsula
Get a clear aerial perspective of the Entebbe Botanical Gardens and the colonial-era architecture of the town right after takeoff.
Mubende Tea Estates
Look down at the vibrant, emerald-green patterns of organized tea plantations covering the rolling hills of Central Uganda.
Rwenzori Mountain Range
The star of the show. Spectacular views of the jagged, often snow-capped peaks rising to over 5,000 meters above sea level.
Portal Peaks
Visible just before landing, these distinctive sharp ridges mark the entrance to the higher mountain valleys.
For the best chance of seeing the Rwenzori peaks, book the earliest morning flight available. Cloud cover typically builds up by 11:00 AM, obscuring the glaciers and highest summits. If the weather is clear, you may even spot Margherita Peak, the third-highest point in Africa. Polarized sunglasses will help reduce the haze and make the green tea estates pop against the landscape.
Lake Victoria Shoreline
Expansive views of the world's largest tropical lake as you climb out of Entebbe, featuring hidden bays and small fishing villages.
Katonga Wildlife Reserve
Fly over the marshy landscapes and riverine forests of the Katonga system, a vital habitat for sitatunga antelopes.
Kazinga Channel
During the descent, glimpse the narrow waterway connecting Lake George and Lake Edward, famous for high concentrations of hippos.
Lake George
A stunning view of this shallow, silt-rich lake which forms the southeastern boundary of the Rwenzori region.
Sit on the left if you want to see the intricate wetlands and the vastness of Lake Victoria. This side is particularly scenic during morning flights when the sun illuminates the water and the papyrus swamps of the Katonga River. Keep an eye out for the shimmering surface of Lake Edward in the far distance during your final descent into Kasese.
