RUA → EBB
Which side of the plane to sit from Arua Airport (Arua) to Entebbe International Airport (Entebbe)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic experience, particularly during the descent over the emerald islands of Lake Victoria and the scenic approach to the Entebbe peninsula.
Congo Border Ranges
Distant, misty views of the high terrain and mountains marking the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Lake Albert Horizon
During the mid-portion of the flight, the shimmering surface of Lake Albert is visible to the west.
Lake Victoria Islands
Spectacular views of the lush, forested islands of the Ssese archipelago as the plane enters the lake basin.
Entebbe Coastline
A close-up view of the tropical shoreline, sandy beaches, and the Uganda Wildlife Education Centre just before landing.
The right side is essential for the 'water approach' into Entebbe. Afternoon flights are ideal for this side, as the sun will be behind you or overhead, providing perfect natural light for capturing the deep blues of Lake Victoria and the vibrant greens of the islands.
Albert Nile Crossing
Shorty after departure from Arua, witness the majestic Nile River as it snakes through the West Nile landscape.
Upper Nile Savannah
Vast views of the northern plains and the transition from dry savannah to lush central wetlands.
Kampala Cityscape
On the final approach, the left side provides a wide-angle view of Uganda's capital city sprawled across its famous seven hills.
Sit in the forward cabin to avoid engine heat distortion when viewing the Albert Nile. The left side is particularly rewarding on early morning flights when the rising sun illuminates the Kampala skyline without creating harsh shadows.
