Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a more dramatic crossing of the Great Rift Valley, featuring the iconic volcanoes and a spectacular final approach over Nairobi National Park.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Sesse Islands

Beautiful views of the forested archipelago scattered across the northern expanse of Lake Victoria.

🍵

Kericho Tea Estates

Look for the distinct, bright green geometric patterns of Kenya's premier tea-growing highlands.

🌋

Rift Valley Volcanoes

Unrivaled views of Mount Longonot and the double-crater of Mount Suswa on the valley floor.

🦁

Nairobi National Park

A world-unique view of the wildlife plains and migrating animals just seconds before touching down.

Sit on the right side for the iconic approach over the national park. Keep your camera ready as you pass the Mau Escarpment; the drop into the Rift Valley is sudden and breathtaking.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Lake Victoria Shoreline

Aerial views of the Entebbe peninsula and the intricate coastline of the northern lake shores.

⛰️

Mount Elgon

On very clear days, the massive silhouette of this extinct shield volcano can be seen far to the north.

💧

Lake Naivasha

A glimpse of the high-altitude freshwater lake nestled in the Great Rift Valley during the descent.

🏙️

Nairobi CBD

The city's growing skyline is often visible to the north during the standard landing patterns into NBO.

The left side is best for seeing the northern Rift Valley lakes. Early morning flights provide the clearest visibility before the equatorial sun creates heat haze over the water and highlands.
