Which side of the plane to sit from Mombasa Moi International Airport (Mombasa) to Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport (Moroni)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the Tanzanian archipelago and a breathtaking close-up of the massive Mount Karthala volcano during the descent into Moroni.
Mombasa Old Port
Aerial view of the historic Fort Jesus and the narrow streets of Mombasa's Old Town immediately after takeoff.
Pemba Island
Known as the Green Island, catch views of its dense clove plantations and surrounding coral reefs.
Zanzibar (Unguja)
Vibrant views of Stone Town's rooftops and the turquoise waters of the Zanzibar Channel.
Mount Karthala
The imposing silhouette of one of the world's largest active shield volcanoes as you approach Grande Comore.
Coral Atolls
Scattered rings of coral visible in the deep blue waters of the Indian Ocean during the mid-flight segment.
For the best experience, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the vibrant turquoise of the Zanzibar archipelago. Ensure you are seated well clear of the wing to see the volcanic crater of Karthala which often rises above the clouds.
Diani Beach
The famous long stretch of white sand and palm trees along the South Coast of Kenya.
Kisite-Mpunguti
A glimpse of the marine park waters near the Tanzanian border, often glowing in bright azure.
Deep Ocean Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean, particularly stunning during late afternoon 'Golden Hour' flights.
Moroni Coastline
Watch the dramatic contrast where black volcanic rock meets the crashing white surf of the Comorian coast.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the African continent. During the final approach, look down to see the unique volcanic architecture and the Great Mosque of Moroni situated near the waterfront.
