Maputo Bay
A great view of the capital city's skyline and the busy shipping lanes of the harbor upon ascent.
Bilene Lagoon
The striking Uembje Lagoon with its bright blue waters separated from the ocean by a narrow sandbar.
Xai-Xai Reefs
Witness the dramatic coral formations and turquoise shallows along the Gaza coastline.
Whale Watching
During winter months (June-October), keep an eye out for humpback whale breaches in the deep blue.
Inhambane Peninsula
Incredible views of the Tofo and Barra area as the plane descends into Inhambane Airport.
The Right Side (Starboard) is significantly more scenic for this coastal route. Choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you, perfectly illuminating the turquoise gradients of the Bilene and Xai-Xai lagoons. Polarized sunglasses will help cut the glare off the water to see the reefs more clearly.

Gaza Province Interior
Observe the mix of rural agriculture and traditional Mozambican homesteads.
Limpopo River Basin
See the expansive floodplains of one of Africa's major rivers crossing the landscape.
Coastal Savannah
A patchwork of dry woodland and open grasslands typical of the region.
Sit on the left if you prefer studying the intricate river systems and the rural geography of southern Mozambique. Early morning light provides long shadows that highlight the river contours beautifully. Ensure you are seated mid-cabin to avoid wing obstruction.
