MUB β BBK
Which side of the plane to sit from Maun Airport (Maun) to Kasane Airport (Kasane)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers unparalleled views of the Okavango Delta's intricate water channels and the lush floodplains of the Savuti and Linyanti regions as you head northeast.
Okavango Delta Channels
Aerial perspective of the delta's iconic labyrinthine waterways, papyrus islands, and crystalline lagoons shortly after departure.
Khwai River Floodplains
Rich alluvial plains where large herds of zebras and red lechwe are frequently visible from lower cruising altitudes.
Savuti Marsh
The hauntingly beautiful dead trees and vast grasslands of the Savuti, famous for its dense elephant populations and predators.
Linyanti Swamps
Deep green reed beds and permanent water systems that form the natural border with Namibia's Caprivi Strip.
Chobe River Front
As you descend into Kasane, the river broadens into a massive floodplain filled with hippos and crocodiles.
Book a morning flight to catch the sun reflecting off the delta waters without harsh glare. During the flood season (May-August), the contrast between the blue water and green islands is most vivid. Keep your eyes peeled for 'elephant highways'βdistinct brown paths carved through the reeds by migrating herds.
Moremi Game Reserve
The eastern edges of this protected area show a transition from wetlands to drier mopane woodlands and acacia forests.
Mababe Depression
A vast, flat expanse of silver grass that was once part of a prehistoric super-lake, offering a stark landscape contrast.
Chobe Forest Reserve
Dense clusters of Zambezi Teak and Knob-thorn trees that harbor secretive wildlife like the sable antelope.
Nogatsaa Pans
Isolated natural waterholes in the interior of Chobe National Park that act as magnets for wildlife during the dry season.
This side is excellent during the dry season (September-October) for spotting wildlife congregating around the remaining pans. Sit behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the vast Kalahari sandveld that stretches toward the eastern horizon.
