DAR → HAH
Which side of the plane to sit from Julius Nyerere International Airport (Dar Es Salaam) to Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport (Moroni)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side provides a spectacular front-row seat to the massive Mount Karthala volcano and the dramatic coastline of Moroni during the final descent.
Pwani Coastal Belt
The dense green mangrove forests and tropical vegetation of the Tanzanian coast south of DAR.
Kilwa Ruins
Distant views of the historic UNESCO World Heritage sites along the southern Tanzanian coastline.
Mount Karthala
The towering presence of the active shield volcano that dominates the island of Grande Comore.
Moroni Cityscape
A beautiful view of the white mosques and stone architecture of the Comorian capital during the landing approach.
The right side is essential for witnessing the volcanic majesty of the Comoros. During the descent into HAH, the aircraft typically tracks along the coast, providing a clear view of the ancient lava flows. Ensure you book a seat ahead of the wing to fully capture the scale of Mount Karthala.
Dar Es Salaam Shoreline
A panoramic view of Tanzania's economic capital and the bustling port area as you depart.
Mafia Archipelago
Stunning aerial views of the turquoise coral reefs and sandbars surrounding Mafia Island.
Indian Ocean Transition
Watch the ocean color shift from vibrant turquoise to a deep, dark sapphire over the continental shelf.
Swahili Dhows
Small traditional sailing vessels visible as tiny white specks against the blue coastal waters.
Choose a morning flight to avoid the harsh glare of the sun on the port side. This side is particularly rewarding for enthusiasts of marine geography and coral reef structures during the first half of the journey.
