Ngong Hills
The recognizable knuckles of the Ngong Hills appear shortly after takeoff from Wilson Airport.
Mount Longonot
A stunning view directly into the massive caldera of this dormant volcano rising from the Rift Valley floor.
Lake Naivasha and Nakuru
Glittering bodies of water that are home to hippos and occasionally visible flocks of pink flamingos.
Elgeyo Escarpment
The dramatic cliff face of the Kerio Valley, offering some of the most rugged terrain in Kenya.
Cherangani Hills
One of Kenya's few subtropical highland ranges, featuring ancient forests and high-altitude plateaus.
Early morning flights are highly recommended to avoid the heat haze and turbulence common in the Rift Valley. Sit behind the wing for unobstructed views of the volcanic craters. Watch closely about 15-20 minutes after takeoff for the best view of Mount Longonot's crater rim.

Nairobi Skyline
A great perspective of the Upper Hill and CBD skyscrapers during the initial climb out.
Mount Kenya
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of Africa's second-highest mountain are visible to the east.
Laikipia Plateau
Vast stretches of private conservancies and wild savannah known for diverse wildlife populations.
Suguta Valley
One of the hottest and driest places in Kenya, featuring a desolate but beautiful volcanic landscape.
Lake Turkana
The distant turquoise hue of the 'Jade Sea' can be seen on the horizon as the flight nears Lokichoggio.
The right side is ideal for spotting Mount Kenya, though it is often shrouded in clouds by mid-morning. As you approach the northern sector, look for the unique red-earth patterns of the desert. During the rainy season, this side offers dramatic views of localized thunderstorms forming over the highlands.
