Nandi Escarpment
Dramatic rocky cliffs and steep ridges that mark the sharp transition from the lake basin to the highlands.
Tea Estates
Vibrant, carpet-like patterns of the Nandi Hills tea plantations, world-renowned for their high-quality production.
Uasin Gishu Plateau
The high-altitude fertile plains characterized by large-scale grain farming and livestock grazing.
Eldoret Skyline
Views of the industrial and educational hub of Western Kenya during the final approach into EDL.
This is the 'scenic side' for this short hop. Sit here to witness the rapid elevation change as the aircraft clears the Nandi Hills. The vibrant green of the tea estates is most vivid during the rainy seasons (April-June and October-November).

Winam Gulf
An expansive view of the eastern corner of Lake Victoria during the initial climb out of Kisumu.
Kakamega Forest
The distant dark green canopy of Kenya's only remaining tropical rainforest visible to the northwest.
Muhoroni Sugar Belts
Lush green patches of sugarcane plantations stretching across the lowlands near the foot of the hills.
Choose the left side for better views of the lake's coastline immediately after takeoff. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the glare reflecting off the water surfaces.
