Which side of the plane to sit from Maputo Airport (Maputo) to Beira Airport (Beira)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is significantly more scenic as it provides a front-row seat to the stunning turquoise waters of the Bazaruto Archipelago and the pristine white-sand coastline of Inhambane.

Maputo Bay
The vast expanse of the bay with views of Portuguese Island and Inhaca Island in the distance during departure.
Bazaruto Archipelago
Breathtaking views of Bazaruto, Benguerra, and Magaruque islands surrounded by neon-turquoise coral reefs.
Inhambane Peninsula
The striking coastline around Tofo and Barra, known for its turquoise waters and vast white sand dunes.
Mozambique Channel
The deep blue waters of the Indian Ocean meeting the shallow turquoise continental shelf in a sharp color contrast.
This is the side for photographers. Watch closely about 40 to 50 minutes into the flight for the Bazaruto Archipelago; the contrast between the deep blue ocean and turquoise lagoons is world-class. Afternoon flights are ideal to have the sun behind the plane, illuminating the reefs and water colors perfectly.

Maputo City
A bird's eye view of the capital's grid layout and the iconic Maputo-Katembe bridge shortly after takeoff.
Limpopo River
See one of Africa's great rivers snaking through the flat plains of Gaza Province with its dramatic meanders.
Save River Delta
The wide, sandy riverbed marking the geographic border between Inhambane and Sofala provinces.
Agricultural Mosaics
Intricate patterns of small-scale farming and traditional homesteads near the town of Xai-Xai.
Look for the dramatic winding curves of the Limpopo River shortly after takeoff. This side is better for seeing the agricultural heartland of Mozambique. Morning flights provide excellent soft lighting on the landscape without the sun glare found on the ocean side.
