Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides an unparalleled panorama of Lake Victoria's vastness and the emerald-green Ssese Islands during the descent into Entebbe.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Lake Victoria

Experience the massive scale of Africa's largest lake as it stretches toward the horizon.

🏝️

Ssese Islands

Spot the scattered, forested islands of the Kalangala archipelago during the final approach.

🐆

Akagera Ecosystem

Overlook the river systems and wetlands that border Rwanda and Tanzania shortly after departure.

🏘️

Entebbe Peninsula

View the botanical gardens and lakeside resorts as the plane aligns with the runway for landing.

The right side is unbeatable for the descent. Choose this side for afternoon flights to get the best golden hour lighting over Lake Victoria. Be sure to look out at least 15 minutes before landing to catch the best views of the islands.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
⛰️

Virunga Volcanoes

Glimpse the distant peaks of the volcanic Virunga range to the west if skies are clear.

🛶

Lake Bunyonyi

See the deep, terraced hills surrounding this island-filled lake near the Rwanda-Uganda border.

🛤️

Mbarara-Masaka Corridor

View the winding roads and diverse agricultural patterns of southwestern Uganda's rolling hills.

🛫

Kigali Cityscape

Observe the unique, hilly topography of Rwanda's capital immediately after takeoff from KGL.

The left side is best for early morning departures to avoid direct solar glare. It offers a superior perspective of the inland Ugandan highlands and, on exceptionally clear days, a chance to see the distant Rwenzori silhouettes to the north.
