MWZ → DAR
Which side of the plane to sit from Mwanza Airport (Mwanza) to Julius Nyerere International Airport (Dar Es Salaam)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the Lake Victoria coastline upon departure, followed by the dramatic landscapes of the Maasai Steppe and distant views of the Eastern Rift Valley escarpments.

Lake Victoria Shoreline
Aerial perspective of the gulf and the rocky outcrops surrounding Mwanza city immediately after takeoff.
Mount Hanang
On clear days, this massive extinct volcanic peak is visible standing alone above the central Tanzanian plains.
Maasai Steppe
A vast expanse of arid savanna and acacia scrubland, home to traditional pastoralist communities.
Dar Es Salaam Skyline
The dense urban sprawl and high-rise buildings of the commercial capital during the descent.
Book an early morning flight to see the landscape illuminated by the rising sun without the afternoon haze. This side avoids direct glare during the southeast-bound flight in the morning. Keep an eye out for the distinct changes in vegetation from the lush lake region to the dry central plateau.

Bismarck Rock
Catch a glimpse of Mwanza's iconic balancing rock formation near the shoreline just as the plane climbs.
Uluguru Mountains
Stunning views of the mist-covered green peaks near Morogoro that rise sharply from the surrounding plains.
Pugu Hills
One of the world's oldest forests, visible as a dark green patch just before entering the Dar Es Salaam airspace.
Dar Es Salaam Port
If the flight path circles from the south, you get a clear view of the bustling harbor and container ships.
Great for seeing the rugged terrain of the Uluguru Mountains mid-flight. If traveling in the late afternoon, be prepared for intense sun glare on this side of the aircraft. During the final approach, look for the sprawling suburbs and the intersection of the Tazara railway.
