Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Kazinga Channel and the vast expanse of Lake Victoria, culminating in a beautiful approach into the Entebbe peninsula.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🐊

Kazinga Channel

The natural waterway connecting Lake Edward and Lake George, teeming with hippos and buffalo.

🐘

Queen Elizabeth Park

Aerial views of the iconic savannah and the explosion craters typical of the African Rift Valley.

🌊

Lake Victoria

The world's second-largest freshwater lake dominates the horizon during the final half of the flight.

🏝️

Ssese Islands

Distant views of the lush, forested archipelago scattered across the northern part of the lake.

✈️

Entebbe Peninsula

A beautiful descent over the botanical gardens and the rugged coastline of the Entebbe headland.

The right side is essential for the iconic Lake Victoria approach. Afternoon flights are particularly scenic as the sun illuminates the lake surface and the islands. Watch for the dramatic color change in the water near the shoreline during descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.6
🏔️

Rwenzori Mountains

Stunning views of the snow-capped 'Mountains of the Moon' visible shortly after takeoff from Kasese.

🌳

Kibale Forest Canopy

Dense, lush tropical rainforest known for its high density of primates visible from low altitudes.

💧

Lake Wamala

A significant freshwater wetland ecosystem surrounded by papyrus and floating islands.

🏘️

Greater Kampala

The sprawling outskirts and hills of Uganda's capital city as you approach the Victoria basin.

🍵

Tea Estates

Neat, geometric patterns of bright green tea plantations around the Fort Portal-Kasese region.

Choose the left side for morning flights to catch the Rwenzori peaks before they are obscured by clouds, which typically gather by midday. Keep your camera ready immediately after departure as the ascent happens close to the mountain range.
