TET → UEL
Which side of the plane to sit from Chingozi Airport (Tete) to Quelimane Airport (Quelimane)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft provides a superior vantage point for the meandering Zambezi River and the spectacular transition into the Zambezi Delta before reaching the coast.
Search flights from TET to UEL
Zambezi River Meanders
Continuous views of Africa's fourth-longest river as it carves wide loops through the valley floor.
Zambezi Delta
The intricate, fractal-like patterns of the river splitting into numerous distributaries near the coast.
Coastal Mangroves
Vibrant green belts of dense mangrove forests that protect the shoreline near the Bons Sinais Estuary.
Indian Ocean Horizon
The first glimpse of the turquoise Indian Ocean appearing as the aircraft aligns for landing.
This is the 'river side.' To capture the best photos of the delta, choose a seat behind the wing to avoid engine heat haze. The afternoon sun can be strong on this side, so polarized sunglasses are recommended.
Book Hotels in Quelimane
Tete Basin
Dramatic views of the arid, rocky landscape surrounding the Chingozi region immediately after takeoff.
Mount Namuli Peaks
On clear days, the distant silhouette of Mozambique's second-highest mountain can be seen to the north.
Zambezia Foothills
A shift from dry bushveld to the lush, greener agricultural plains of the Zambezia province.
Quelimane Cityscape
A bird's-eye view of the historic port city and its colonial architecture during the final descent.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights, which helps in spotting the distant granite inselbergs. This side is better for seeing the urban layout of Quelimane upon approach.
