Flying East Africa, Comfort, Culture & Captivating Views In One Journey

Above & Beyond, Discovering The Beauty Of East Africa By Air

Traveling between East Africa’s iconic cities—Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania—is not just about the destination, but also the journey. Our recent adventure took us from Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) on a night flight with Precision Air to the heart of Dar es Salaam, and back to Nairobi aboard Skyward Express. The entire trip was seamless, scenic, and packed with memorable moments in the sky.

Departing from JKIA under Nairobi’s glittering night sky, our experience with Precision Air began with smooth check-in and courteous ground staff who ensured everything ran efficiently. As we boarded the aircraft, the cabin welcomed us with a soft, ambient glow, perfect for a night journey. Takeoff was smooth, and soon we were soaring above the city lights of Nairobi, which looked like a field of stars scattered across the dark landscape. Onboard service was attentive and timely, with light snacks and beverages served promptly. Flying through the calm night sky, the experience was peaceful and set the tone for our arrival in Dar es Salaam just before midnight.

Dar es Salaam embraced us with its coastal charm, warm tropical breeze, and vibrant Swahili culture. After a few incredible days exploring the city’s markets, beaches, and culinary offerings, our return journey to Nairobi was scheduled with Skyward Express. This time, it was a daytime flight—and what a view it was. From the moment we arrived at Julius Nyerere International Airport, Skyward Express staff were warm, welcoming, and efficient, setting the stage for a memorable flight home.

As we ascended from the coastline, the window views were simply stunning. We were treated to sweeping panoramas of the Indian Ocean, lush Tanzanian countryside, and even the distant outline of Mount Kilimanjaro. The flight path offered a visual feast—from coral reefs and coastal towns to green highlands and rolling hills as we crossed into Kenya. Skyward Express provided a calm and enjoyable in-flight experience, allowing us to sit back and soak in the breathtaking scenery.

Touching down in Nairobi felt like returning from a beautifully narrated story—one filled with culture, comfort, and captivating skies. Our journey with Precision Air and Skyward Express showcased the very best of regional aviation: professionalism, warm hospitality, and unforgettable views from above. For anyone planning to travel between these two East African gems, this route offers more than a connection—it offers an experience worth savoring.
