Mogadishu Cityscape
Excellent aerial views of the Port of Mogadishu and the historic architecture of the city center during the initial climb.
Mount Kenya
On clear days, the jagged, snow-dusted peaks of Africa's second-highest mountain are visible to the North.
Great Rift Valley
Dramatic views of the Eastern Rift escarpments and the changing topography as you move from the arid East to the fertile West.
Mount Elgon
The massive, sprawling base of this extinct shield volcano marks the transition across the Kenya-Uganda border.
Entebbe Peninsula
A scenic approach over the lush, garden-like landscape of Entebbe, including views of the Botanical Gardens.
The right side is best for geography enthusiasts. Mount Kenya is most likely to be visible on early morning flights before cloud cover develops. Ensure you have a window seat clear of the wing to capture the Rift Valley's scale. In Entebbe, the right side often looks directly over the town and presidential complex during landing.

Lake Victoria
A vast, seemingly endless horizon of water as the plane enters Ugandan airspace, showcasing the scale of Africa's largest lake.
Ssese Islands
Lush, emerald-green archipelagos scattered across the northern reaches of Lake Victoria during the final descent.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Indian Ocean during departure from Mogadishu. For the arrival into Entebbe, the left side offers a stunning perspective of the sheer size of Lake Victoria. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for the lake's surface and islands.
