Mount Kenya
Incredible views of Batian and Nelion peaks, Africa's second-highest mountain, visible on clear days.
Aberdare Range
Dense, high-altitude cloud forests and moorlands that form a vital water tower for Kenya.
Suguta Valley
One of the hottest and driest parts of the Rift Valley, featuring rugged, lunar-like landscapes.
The White Nile
The winding, silver ribbon of the Bahr el Jebel section of the Nile as it snakes toward Juba.
Choose a window seat on the right for the best chance to see Mount Kenya before 10:00 AM when clouds typically build up. During the descent into Juba, the right side provides the most direct view of the White Nile's intricate floodplains and the city's sprawl.
