ABJ โ CKY
Which side of the plane to sit from Port Bouet Airport (Abidjan) to Conakry International Airport (Conakry)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a superior view of the diverse West African coastline, lush tropical rainforests, and the dramatic mountain ranges of the interior as you fly northwestward toward Guinea.
Abidjan Cityscape
A breathtaking view of the 'Manhattan of Africa' and the sprawling รbriรฉ Lagoon system immediately after takeoff from Port Bouet.
Taรฏ National Park
Glance over one of the last primary rainforests in West Africa, appearing as a vast, unbroken emerald canopy.
Mount Nimba Range
On clear days, the distant peaks of the Nimba Range, a UNESCO World Heritage site straddling Ivory Coast, Liberia, and Guinea, are visible.
Freetown Peninsula
A distant view of the dramatic mountains meeting the sea near the Sierra Leonean capital as you transition into Guinean airspace.
รles de Los
During the final descent into CKY, spot the beautiful volcanic islands just off the coast of Conakry, including Tamara and Kassa.
The right side is significantly more scenic for geography enthusiasts. Sit here to see the transition from lagoons to dense forests and eventually the mountainous terrain of Guinea. For the best photography of the Mount Nimba range, choose a morning flight when the air is clearest before the afternoon tropical clouds build up.
Gulf of Guinea
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean and the rhythmic surf hitting the West African continental shelf.
Liberian Coastline
Bird's-eye view of the remote and rugged beaches of southeastern Liberia, characterized by golden sands and dense palm groves.
Atlantic Horizon
Stunning unobstructed views of the horizon, perfect for capturing the play of light during sunset or sunrise flights.
Conakry Outer Harbor
As the plane banks for arrival, see the numerous cargo ships and fishing vessels anchored in the approaches to Port de Conakry.
The left side is best for those seeking serene ocean vistas and the magic of the golden hour over the Atlantic. If flying during midday, expect strong glare from the water; keep the window shade partially down to manage heat and light.
