Which side of the plane to sit from Walvis Bay Airport (Walvis Bay) to Hosea Kutako International Airport (Windhoek)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a breathtaking view of the Namib Desert's edge, particularly where the towering orange dunes are abruptly stopped by the Kuiseb River canyon.

Sandwich Harbour Views
Distant views of the massive coastal dunes meeting the turquoise Atlantic Ocean.
Kuiseb Canyon
A massive, deep gorge that serves as a natural boundary between the sand dunes and rocky plains.
Namib Dune Sea
The northern edge of the ancient Namib Desert, showing the characteristic transition from yellow to red sand.
Khomas Highlands
Rolling mountain landscapes and high-altitude plateaus as the flight descends toward Windhoek.
The right side is essential for seeing the dramatic 'line' where the desert dunes end. For the best photography, choose a late afternoon flight when the low sun casts long shadows over the Kuiseb Canyon and highlights the textures of the Namib dunes.

Walvis Bay Lagoon
Vibrant salt pans and thousands of flamingos visible near the coast immediately after takeoff.
Moon Landscape
Eerie, grayish rock formations carved by the Swakop River that resemble a lunar surface.
Trans-Namib Railway
The lonely desert railway line stretching across the vast gravel plains toward the interior.
Rössing Mountains
A rugged mountain range providing a stark silhouette against the northern horizon.
Sit on the left side during morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. This side offers better views of the Swakop River valley and the peculiar geology of the Erongo region as you climb toward the plateau.
