LUN → LVI
Which side of the plane to sit from Kenneth Kaunda International Airport Lusaka (Lusaka) to Livingstone Airport (Livingstone)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most dramatic views of the Zambezi River's approach to the precipice and offers the most consistent opportunity to see the iconic plume of Victoria Falls during the descent into Livingstone.

Lusaka Urban Sprawl
Aerial view of the Zambian capital's southern suburbs and the industrial transition to rural landscape.
Lake Kariba Horizon
On clear days, the shimmering blue of the world's largest man-made lake is visible to the far south.
Batoka Gorge
Watch the Zambezi River transform from a wide flow into a narrow, zig-zagging torrent within deep basalt canyons.
Mosi-oa-Tunya
The 'Smoke that Thunders' is visible as a massive white spray cloud rising from Victoria Falls as you approach the airport.
Book a seat on the left (A) for the best chance of seeing the Falls during the standard approach. Morning flights (08:00-10:00) offer the crispest light and best visibility of the mist spray without the glare of the midday sun. Between February and June, the spray is at its most powerful and easily spotted from miles away.

Kafue River Basin
Views of the meandering Kafue River as it snakes through the southern Zambian plateau.
Lochinvar National Park
Look for the vast, emerald green wetlands of the Kafue Flats, a haven for endemic Kafue Lechwe and diverse birdlife.
Upper Zambezi
Observe the peaceful, island-studded stretches of the Zambezi upstream from the turbulence of the falls.
The right side is excellent for viewing the wide expanses of the Zambian interior and the intricate patterns of the river systems. If the wind requires an approach from the west, the right side may occasionally get a sweeping view of the falls during the final turn toward the runway.
