Search flights from MUB to VFA
Chobe National Park
Fly over the heart of one of Africa's most famous parks, looking for elephant herds near the riverfront.
Zambezi River Upper Reach
Watch the mighty Zambezi widen as it approaches the precipice, marking the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Mosi-oa-Tunya Spray
Spot the 'Smoke that Thunders'—the massive mist cloud from Victoria Falls—visible from miles away during the descent.
Crucial for the landing at VFA; the right side usually gets the first and clearest view of the Falls spray. Between March and May, the spray is highest, often rising 400 meters into the air. Choose a seat away from the wing for unobstructed views of the Zambezi gorges.

Okavango Delta Fringes
Witness the intricate network of seasonal water channels and lagoons branching out from the Thamalakane River during departure.

View the remote wetlands of the Linyanti area, known for dense wildlife populations and unique riverine ecosystems.
Caprivi Strip Border
See the thin finger of Namibian land to the north, defined by the winding paths of the Chobe and Linyanti rivers.
The left side is excellent during the first half of the flight for spotting the distinct transition from the Delta to the dry Kalahari sands. Aim for a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the water channels with high contrast.
