The Okavango Delta's intricate water patterns are a highlight of this route and best viewed from the right. Right-side seats capture the most memorable portion of the flight.

During takeoff from Cape Town International (CPT), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats offer views of Table Mountain and the Cape Peninsula as the aircraft climbs northeastward out of Cape Town. The mountain dominates the immediate landscape during the initial climb, and you'll see the Atlantic coastline curving away to the left. Notable sights include: Table Mountain, Cape Peninsula coastline, False Bay (to the right but visible from left side during turn), Hottentots Holland Mountains (inland).

When landing at Maun (MUB), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats provide excellent views during the descent approach into Maun. You'll see the Okavango Delta's distinctive water channels and islands spreading across the landscape, along with the Kalahari's sparse vegetation patterns. The delta's braided waterways are particularly striking from altitude. Notable sights include: Okavango Delta (channels and islands), Kalahari semi-arid landscape, Maun town and airfield, Thamalakane River.

The flight from Cape Town International (CPT) to Maun (MUB) takes Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Northern Cape's semi-arid plateau, passing east of the Karoo region. You'll see sparse vegetation, scattered settlements, and the gradual transition from South Africa's interior plateau into Botswana's landscape. The Limpopo River valley marks the border crossing. As you approach Maun, the landscape becomes increasingly dominated by the Kalahari's characteristic low scrubland before the Okavango Delta becomes visible.
