Abidjan Skyline & Lagoons
A stunning view of the Plateau district and the intricate Ébrié Lagoon system immediately after takeoff.
Grand-Bassam
Look down at the historic colonial architecture and sandy beaches of this UNESCO World Heritage site.
Historic Ghanaian Castles
The flight path often passes near Cape Coast and Elmina, where historic coastal forts are visible.
Accra Metropolis
A panoramic view of Ghana's sprawling capital, including Independence Square and the coastal districts.
Volta River Delta
The massive mouth of the Volta River emptying into the Atlantic, creating distinct sediment patterns.
Choose the left side for morning flights to have the sun behind you, illuminating the coastline perfectly. This side is essential for spotting landmarks in Abidjan and Accra. During the rainy season, clouds often build up inland, so the coastal view on the left remains your best bet for visibility.

Gulf of Guinea
Expansive, uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean stretching to the horizon.
Offshore Shipping Lanes
Clusters of large cargo ships and tankers waiting to enter the busy ports of Abidjan, Tema, and Lomé.
Oceanic Sun Glint
Spectacular reflections of the sun off the water surface, especially during early morning departures.
The right side is ideal for passengers wanting a quiet flight away from the busy landscape. It is particularly good for avoiding the direct glare of the northern sun during the middle of the day. Watch for the 'color line' where brown river water from the coast mixes with the blue ocean.
