Maputo Bay
Aerial view of the Mozambican capital, the impressive Katembe Bridge, and the massive natural harbor.
Bilene Lagoons
Breathtaking turquoise saltwater lagoons separated from the deep blue ocean by high white sand dunes.
Xai-Xai Coastline
Stunning stretches of untouched white sand beaches and dramatic shorelines where the Limpopo River meets the sea.
Tofo & Barra Peninsula
The famous curved coastline of the Inhambane peninsula, known for its world-class diving and manta ray populations.
The right side is best for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare while capturing the vivid colors of the Indian Ocean. For the most dramatic views of the Tofo and Barra beaches, ensure you have a window seat clear of the wing, as the descent into Inhambane Airport often follows the coastline closely.

Gaza Interior

Inhambane Bay
Deep green and brown hues of the nutrient-rich estuary waters, often dotted with traditional dhow sailing boats.
