Mount Kilimanjaro
Africa's highest peak is breathtakingly visible behind the wing during the initial climb.
Chyulu Hills
One of the world's youngest volcanic ranges, appearing as vibrant green rolling hills.
Standard Gauge Railway
The modern rail line creates a striking geometric contrast against the wild landscape.
Nairobi Skyline
A panoramic view of the Upper Hill and Central Business District skyscrapers on the approach.
Nairobi National Park
The best angle for spotting giraffes or rhinos against the backdrop of the city during final descent.
Book a morning flight (before 10:00 AM) for the highest probability of seeing Mount Kilimanjaro before cloud cover forms. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff from Amboseli, as the mountain is the star attraction. During the descent into Wilson Airport, watch for the juxtaposition of wildlife and skyscrapers.

Lake Amboseli
A seasonal soda lake that often creates shimmering mirages across the dry basin.
Namanga Hills
The rugged peaks marking the border between Kenya and Tanzania are visible to the southwest.
Kajiado Town
A bird's-eye view of this growing hub and the surrounding Maasai heartland.
Ngong Hills
The famous knuckle-shaped peaks of the Great Rift Valley's eastern wall appear shortly before landing.
Nairobi National Park West
Views of the western savannah and the animal migration corridors into the city.
Choose the left side if you are interested in the geology of the Rift Valley's edge and the iconic Ngong Hills. This side is also excellent for late afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the setting sun while looking west toward the escarpment.
