Which side of the plane to sit from Sir Seretse Khama International Airport (Gaberone) to Kasane Airport (Kasane)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic transition from the arid Kalahari landscapes to the lush, winding waterways of the Okavango and Linyanti regions during the approach to Kasane.
Gaborone Dam
A clear view of the capital's primary water source and the surrounding yacht club shortly after takeoff.
Central Kalahari Game Reserve
Vast stretches of the world's second-largest game reserve, showing unique fossil river valleys and scrubland.
Okavango Delta Fringes
In the latter half of the flight, the terrain transforms into a mosaic of green islands and blue channels.
Linyanti Waterways
As you descend, look for the intricate maze of lagoons that characterize the Linyanti marsh system.
Book a window seat on the left for morning departures to avoid the direct sun glare. During the rainy season (December-March), this side offers spectacular views of localized thunderstorms developing over the delta.
Makgadikgadi Pans
Distant but visible white horizons representing one of the largest salt pan complexes in the world.
Nxai Pan National Park
Open grasslands that contrast sharply with the surrounding Mopane woodlands, often visible mid-flight.
Chobe National Park
Dense teak forests and sand ridges that harbor some of the highest concentrations of elephants in Africa.
Chobe River Front
On final approach, the sparkling Chobe River marks the border between Botswana and Namibia's Caprivi Strip.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights as the sun is positioned behind the aircraft. Keep a close eye on the Chobe River during the descent to spot elephant herds gathered at the water's edge.
