Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers spectacular views of the Sahara's shifting dunes, the dramatic landscapes of the Great Rift Valley, and the iconic snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏜️

Sahara Desert

Endless waves of orange sand dunes and prehistoric rock formations across Libya and Chad.

💧

Lake Turkana

The world's largest permanent desert lake, known for its striking jade-green color.

🏔️

Mount Kilimanjaro

The highest peak in Africa, often visible rising above the clouds near the Kenya-Tanzania border.

🦒

East African Savanna

Expansive golden plains stretching across the heart of the African continent.

🌋

Mount Karthala

Views of the massive active volcano on Grande Comore as you cross the Comoros archipelago.

The right side is ideal for spotting Mount Kilimanjaro; keep your eyes peeled about 8-9 hours into the flight. This side also avoids the direct glare of the morning sun during the final descent into Mayotte, making it easier to photograph the island of Grande-Terre.

Left Side Highlights
7.9
🌊

Mediterranean Crossing

Aerial views of the deep azure waters between the French coast and North Africa.

🏔️

Ethiopian Highlands

Rugged terrain and high-altitude plateaus characterized by deep canyons.

🌅

Indian Ocean Sunrise

For overnight flights, witness a stunning sunrise over the vast expanse of the Indian Ocean.

🏝️

Mayotte Barrier Reef

Stunning views of the turquoise lagoon and the world's largest double barrier reef on approach.

🏙️

Marseille Coastline

Immediate views of the Calanques and the southern French coastline after takeoff.

Sit on the left if you want the best view of the sun rising over the Indian Ocean. For the landing at DZA, the left side often provides a broader view of the turquoise lagoon, but be aware that window glare can be high during the morning hours.
