Which side of the plane to sit from Juba International Airport (Juba) to Entebbe International Airport (Entebbe)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point of the White Nile's winding path and the spectacular transition from South Sudanese savannah to the lush biodiversity of Murchison Falls National Park.
Search flights from JUB to EBB
The White Nile
Follow the Bahr el Jebel (Mountain Nile) as it snakes southwards, creating a vibrant green corridor through the arid landscape.
Murchison Falls National Park
A vast conservation area where the Victoria Nile flows into Lake Albert; keep an eye out for elephants and buffalo near the riverbanks.
Albertine Rift Escarpment
Witness the dramatic geological drop-offs marking the edge of the East African Rift system as you fly toward central Uganda.
Lake Albert Horizon
On a clear day, the northern tip of Lake Albert and the blue mountains of the Democratic Republic of the Congo are visible in the distance.
The right side is essential for river enthusiasts; the Nile stays mostly to the west of the flight path. For late afternoon flights, be prepared for some glare, but the golden hour lighting makes the river look like liquid gold. Look down immediately after leaving Juba airspace to see the transition from the Sudd wetlands.

Nimule National Park
Located at the South Sudan-Uganda border, this area features dense greenery and river rapids visible shortly after takeoff.
Northern Uganda Landscapes
Aerial views of the Gulu region, showing a tapestry of traditional settlements and agricultural patterns characteristic of the Acholi sub-region.
Lake Victoria Islands
During the final approach into Entebbe, enjoy views of the Sesse Islands and the vast, shimmering waters of Africa's largest lake.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh western sun. This side is particularly scenic during the descent into Entebbe as the plane turns over Lake Victoria, offering a clear view of the peninsula's coastline.
