Which side of the plane to sit from Kenneth Kaunda International Airport Lusaka (Lusaka) to Kasama Airport (Kasama)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft provides a front-row seat to the dramatic Muchinga Escarpment and the winding patterns of the Chambeshi River system as you head north.
Search flights from LUN to KAA
Muchinga Escarpment
Dramatic mountain ridges that mark the boundary between the plateau and the Luangwa Rift Valley.
Chambeshi River Meanders
Exquisite serpentine loops of the river as it flows toward the Bangweulu swamps.
South Luangwa Edge
Distant glimpses of the rugged, wild terrain bordering Zambia's premier national park.
Kasama Highlands
The rolling hills and red-earthed settlements as the plane descends into Northern Province.
The Muchinga Escarpment is best viewed midway through the flight. For the most dramatic lighting, take an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the eastern ridges and river valleys.

Lusaka Northern Sprawl
Aerial view of the rapidly expanding suburbs and industrial zones north of the capital city.
Miombo Woodlands
The vast, unbroken canopy of the Miombo ecosystem that defines the Central African plateau.
Bangweulu Basin
Distant views of the vast wetland system, appearing as a shimmering horizon on the western edge.
TAZARA Railway
Occasional sightings of the historic railway line cutting through the bush toward Tanzania.
Sit on this side for morning flights to avoid the harsh African sun glare. During the wet season (November to April), look for the vibrant green hues and localized rain cells forming over the wetlands.
