LLW → DAR
Which side of the plane to sit from Lilongwe International Airport (Lilongwe) to Julius Nyerere International Airport (Dar Es Salaam)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most dramatic views of Lake Malawi's northern coastline and the sheer escarpments of the Livingstone Mountains before descending into the Tanzanian capital.
Search flights from LLW to DAR
Lake Malawi
A stunning perspective of the 'Lake of Stars' and its clear blue waters shortly after departure.
Livingstone Mountains
Jagged peaks and steep green ridges that define the northeastern shore of the lake.
Southern Highlands
Lush, high-altitude plateaus and agricultural landscapes around the Njombe and Iringa regions.
Dar Es Salaam Harbor
A panoramic view of the bustling port and the city's coastal skyline during the final approach.
Opt for a morning flight to catch the sun illuminating the mountains and the lake from behind. Seats in front of the wing are ideal to prevent engine heat from distorting your views of the Livingstone escarpment.

Niassa-Selous Corridor
The wild, unpopulated wilderness areas connecting Mozambique and Tanzania.
Nyerere National Park
Aerial views of Africa's largest protected game reserve, marked by the meandering Rufiji River.
Rufiji Delta
An intricate network of waterways and one of the world's largest mangrove forests near the coast.
Indian Ocean Coastline
The deep blue of the ocean meeting the white sands of the Tanzanian coast south of the city.
The right side is perfect for spotting the vast river systems of the Selous. During the dry season (June–October), the landscape is golden, making it easier to spot the glint of the Great Ruaha River flowing toward the coast.
