Grand-Bassam
The historic former capital of Ivory Coast and its colonial-era architecture located right on the shoreline.
Assinie-Mafia
A stunning narrow strip of land sandwiched between the turquoise sea and the Ébrié Lagoon.
Tano River and Aby Lagoon
The natural border between Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana, featuring expansive wetland ecosystems.
Elmina and Cape Coast Castles
The iconic UNESCO World Heritage white-washed forts visible as you track along the Ghanaian coast.
Greater Accra Shoreline
A dense urban landscape emerging as the aircraft begins its descent into Kotoka International.
Sit on the left (Window seat A) for the most consistent scenery. This flight is short and low-altitude, making ground details very clear. Morning flights are ideal to have the sun behind you, illuminating the colorful coastal lagoons and white sand beaches without glare. Keep your camera ready as you pass the Central Region of Ghana for the historic castles.

Gulf of Guinea
Vast, deep blue views of the Atlantic Ocean stretching toward the horizon.
Shipping Lanes
Cargo ships and tankers queued up near the Port of Abidjan and the Port of Tema.
Southern Horizon
Unobstructed views of the sun reflecting off the water, particularly beautiful during late afternoon flights.
The right side is mostly open water for the duration of the 45-minute flight. It is preferred only if you want to avoid direct sunlight during midday flights or if you enjoy the minimalist aesthetics of the ocean. On the final approach into Accra, you may see the breakwaters of the coast if the plane banks sharply for landing.
