Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Entebbe to London. Right side dominates the outbound leg with Lake Victoria's unobstructed views for the first 90 minutes of flight. While left side offers scenic value on descent into Gatwick, the takeoff experience over Africa's largest lake is more visually distinctive and sustained than the final approach over English countryside.

During takeoff from Entebbe International (EBB), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right side offers views of Lake Victoria immediately after departure. The aircraft climbs northwestward from Entebbe, and the right wing seats capture the vast expanse of Africa's largest lake stretching across the horizon. Notable sights include: Lake Victoria (dominant water body), Kampala city sprawl to the northwest, Rwenzori Mountains (distant, on western horizon), papyrus swamps and smaller lakes dotting the terrain below.

When landing at Gatwick (LGW), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left side provides excellent views during the descent approach to Gatwick. Aircraft descend from the southeast over the Weald and North Downs, and left-side seats capture the rolling chalk hills, patchwork farmland, and the approach over Surrey and Sussex before reaching the airport. Notable sights include: North Downs ridge (chalk escarpment running east-west), Weald farmland and forest (patchwork below), River Mole or Medway valleys (linear features cutting through terrain), London's distant urban glow on the northern horizon.

The flight from Entebbe International (EBB) to Gatwick (LGW) takes Approximately 8 hours 45 minutes to 9 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses central Africa northwestward, passing over Uganda's highlands and forests, then over South Sudan and Sudan's savanna and semi-arid terrain. The Nile River becomes visible as a thin green corridor through the Sahara as the aircraft crosses northern Sudan and Egypt. The Suez Canal and Red Sea mark the transition to the Mediterranean. Over the Mediterranean, the flight continues northwest toward southern England, with the North African coast (Libya/Tunisia) visible on the left during the southern Mediterranean crossing, and southern European coastlines (Spain, France) potentially visible on the right during the northern Mediterranean approach.
