Abidjan Skyline
Catch a glimpse of the Plateau district and the 'Manhattan of Africa' shortly after departure.
Port of San Pédro
View one of the world's most significant cocoa-exporting ports and its industrial infrastructure.
Sassandra River Mouth
Watch the dramatic meeting point where the Sassandra River flows into the Atlantic Ocean.
Upper Guinean Forests
Dense, vibrant green tropical rainforests visible as you approach the Liberian border.
Cavalla River
The winding river that serves as the natural international border between Cote d'Ivoire and Liberia.
Harper Coastline
The historic town of Harper and its distinctive coastal architecture as you enter Liberian airspace.
Sit on the right for the best geographical context. During the dry season (December to February), the Harmattan haze can reduce visibility, so try to book a mid-morning flight when the sun is high but the air is clearest. This side provides an excellent perspective on the numerous lagoons and river deltas that characterize this stretch of the West African coast.

Gulf of Guinea
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean stretching toward the horizon.
Ebrié Lagoon
Visible immediately after takeoff, showing the vast water system that defines Abidjan's geography.
Shipping Lanes
Spot large cargo ships and tankers queuing for the Port of Abidjan and San Pédro.
Atlantic Sunset
On late afternoon flights, the sun sets directly over the water, creating vibrant orange reflections.
Choose this side if you prefer a peaceful, meditative view of the ocean. For morning flights, this side is shaded and cooler, while evening flights offer a stunning sunset over the Gulf of Guinea. Keep an eye out for the white surf line marking the rugged coast.
