Abidjan Coastline
Aerial views of the Ébrié Lagoon and the industrial port of Abidjan immediately after departure from Port Bouet.
Gulf of Guinea
Continuous views of the deep blue Atlantic and the continental shelf where the ocean floor drops off significantly.
Bioko Island Silhouette
On clear days, the massive volcanic peak of Pico Basile in Equatorial Guinea may be visible to the northeast.
Niger Delta Outskirts
Distal views of the intricate network of rivers and mangrove swamps that define the southern Nigerian coast.
Libreville Estuary
The dramatic meeting of the Komo River and the Atlantic Ocean as the plane prepares for landing at LBV.
Choose a window seat on the left for the best morning light on the African landmass. This side avoids direct sun glare for most of the southeasterly flight path. Keep an eye out for the distinct line where river sediment meets the clear ocean water near the coast.

Príncipe Island

Shipping Corridors
High visibility of international cargo ships and tankers navigating the busy West African maritime routes.
Atlantic Horizons
Unobstructed views of the horizon, perfect for capturing sunset colors on late afternoon departures.
Cape Esterias

The right side is ideal for travelers who prefer the serenity of the open ocean. If flying in the late afternoon, be prepared for intense sunlight; keep your window shade partially closed until the sun drops lower for spectacular sunset views over the water.
