Passengers can see the meeting point of four nations and the vast expanse of the Zambezi and Chobe rivers as the aircraft turns and climbs away from the border region.
While both sides offer spectacular views of the Kalahari ecosystem, the right side provides a more dramatic perspective of the Linyanti Swamps, the Selinda Spillway, and the heart of the Okavango Delta's permanent water channels.
The left side offers a superior vantage point for Botswana's unique geological features, including the stark white expanse of the Makgadikgadi Pans and the industrial marvel of the Orapa diamond mines.
The left side offers the most dramatic contrast in scenery, featuring the shimmering Makgadikgadi Salt Pans and a direct view of the Pretoria skyline and administrative landmarks during the descent.
