Which side of the plane to sit from Malindi Airport (Malindi) to Nairobi Wilson Airport (Nairobi)?

Malindi Marine Park
Clear views of the coral reefs and turquoise coastal waters immediately after takeoff.
Mount Kilimanjaro
On clear days, the snow-capped peak of Africa's tallest mountain is visible to the south.
Chyulu Hills
A beautiful range of ancient volcanic cinder cones and green rolling hills.
Nairobi National Park
An incredible low-altitude view of the savanna and wildlife just moments before landing.
Book a morning flight (07:00-09:00) for the highest probability of seeing Kilimanjaro's peak before cloud cover sets in. On the approach to Wilson, the left side typically faces the heart of Nairobi National Park, making it possible to spot giraffes and rhinos against the city backdrop.

The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun. Keep an eye out for the Galana River winding through the Tsavo plains. During the final approach, this side provides a better view of the dense urban layout of Nairobi.
