Elgeyo Escarpment
Experience a breathtaking drop-off as the plane leaves the high plateau and the ground falls away thousands of feet into the valley below.
Kerio Valley
Look down into the deep valley floor, home to various conservancies and the distinctive Tugen Hills rising in the distance.
Lake Turkana
Catch the stunning 'Jade Sea' on the horizon, the world's largest permanent alkaline lake, displaying vibrant turquoise hues.
Central Island
On clear days during the descent, you may spot the volcanic silhouettes of the islands sitting within Lake Turkana.
The right side is essential for the iconic 'Jade Sea' view. Choose a morning flight for the best lighting on the escarpment. During the descent into Lodwar, keep your camera ready as the contrast between the brown desert and the blue-green lake is most vivid.

Uasin Gishu Plateaus
View the sprawling wheat and maize fields of Eldoret, known as the breadbasket of Kenya, shortly after departure.
Cherangani Hills
Spot the ancient metamorphic peaks of the Cherangani range, one of Kenya's five main water towers, rising to the northwest.
Turkwel River Path
Follow the winding green ribbon of the Turkwel River as it carves through the arid landscape toward the Turkana basin.
Turkana Scrubland
Observe the harsh yet beautiful patterns of the northern desert plains, dotted with acacia and seasonal riverbeds.
Sit on the left if you prefer looking toward the Uganda border and the rugged Cherangani heights. This side is better in the early morning to avoid the direct glare of the rising sun over the Rift Valley.
