Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides the most iconic views, starting with an immediate perspective of Mount Kilimanjaro's snow-capped Kibo peak, followed by the surreal, alkaline colors of Lake Natron and the volcanic landscapes of the Great Rift Valley.

Right Side Highlights

🏔️

Mount Kilimanjaro

Immediate, breathtaking views of the highest peak in Africa right after departure.

🔴

Lake Natron

A striking soda lake famous for its deep red and pink hues caused by salt-loving microorganisms.

🔥

Ol Doinyo Lengai

The 'Mountain of God' is an active volcano known for its unique, cool carbonatite lava.

🇰🇪

Kenya Border

The flight path tracks near the Kenyan border, offering views into the Amboseli and Masai Mara regions.

🛬

Entebbe Peninsula

A stunning approach over the red soil and dense tropical greenery of the Ugandan shoreline.

Book an early morning flight for the best chance to see Kilimanjaro before clouds form around the summit. Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the mountain and the Rift Valley volcanoes isn't obstructed by the engine or wing structure.

🌋

Mount Meru

Tanzania's second-highest peak provides a dramatic sight shortly after takeoff from JRO.

🏙️

Arusha City

Aerial view of the gateway city to the Northern Safari Circuit nestled at the foot of Mount Meru.

🦓

Serengeti Ecosystem

Vast expanses of the world-famous savanna plains stretching toward the horizon.

🌊

Lake Victoria

The flight crosses the expansive waters of Africa's largest lake, offering views of distant fishing vessels.

🏝️

Ssese Islands

A beautiful cluster of lush, green islands visible in the lake during the descent into Entebbe.

The left side is excellent for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, reducing glare. Keep your eyes peeled for the Ngorongoro Highlands in the distance. During the rainy season (March-May), the landscape is incredibly vibrant green.
