Search flights from JRO to MWZ
Mount Kilimanjaro
Usually visible during the initial climb, offering a final glimpse of the 'Roof of Africa' to the east-northeast.
Ngorongoro Crater
An unparalleled view into the world's largest intact volcanic caldera, often visible as a massive green bowl.
Ol Doinyo Lengai
The symmetrical cone of the 'Mountain of God,' an active volcano famous for its unique cool carbonatite lava.
Lake Natron
Striking red and pink patterns of the soda lake's surface, caused by salt-loving microorganisms.
Serengeti Migration
During specific seasons, you can see the distinctive trails and massive clusters of the wildebeest herds from 20,000 feet.
This is the premier side for photography. Request a window seat far from the wing to capture the vibrant colors of Lake Natron and the depth of the Ngorongoro Crater. For the best clarity, choose early morning departures before the afternoon thermal haze obscures the Serengeti plains.

A stunningly close view of the ash cone and caldera of Tanzania's second-highest mountain shortly after takeoff.
Arusha City
The dense urban landscape and surrounding coffee plantations of the region's main commercial hub.
Lake Manyara
Clear views of the alkaline lake tucked at the base of the dramatic Great Rift Valley escarpment.
Tarangire Ecosystem
Vast savannah landscapes characterized by ancient baobab trees and seasonal riverbeds.
Southern Serengeti
The endless short-grass plains where the Great Migration herds congregate during the calving season.
Sit toward the front of the aircraft to avoid the engine exhaust blurring the view of the Rift Valley escarpment. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, perfectly illuminating the wall of the Great Rift Valley.
