Which side of the plane to sit from Katima Mulilo Airport (Mpacha) to Rundu Airport (Rundu)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the complex river systems and floodplains of the Chobe and Linyanti regions, including the borders of Botswana.
Chobe River System
Meandering blue waterways and lush islands marking the international border with Botswana.
Mudumu National Park
Dense mopane woodlands and riverine forests home to significant elephant corridors.
Linyanti Swamps
Intricate wetland mazes where the Kwando River transforms into the Linyanti system.
Kavango Floodplains
Vast green stretches of fertile land as the flight approaches the Okavango River region.
Book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the reflective river surfaces. The dry season (June to September) is best for spotting wildlife congregating at the riverbanks.
Zambezi River
Early views of Africa's fourth-longest river as it flows past Katima Mulilo.
Bwabwata National Park
A unique 'people's park' where wildlife and local communities coexist across the Caprivi Strip.
Angolan Frontier
Direct views across the Okavango River into the remote southern provinces of Angola.
Rundu Urban Center
The expanding town layout of Rundu positioned high on the banks of the Okavango.
Recommended for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset reflecting off the Okavango River. Keep an eye out for the distinct line where the river separates Namibia from Angola during the descent.
