Search flights from ACC to DKR
Abidjan & Ébrié Lagoon
View the 'Manhattan of West Africa' with its impressive skyline and the intricate network of the Ébrié Lagoon.
Upper Guinean Forests
Fly over the dense, emerald green canopy of the Liberian and Sierra Leonean rainforests, one of Africa's most vital ecosystems.
Freetown Peninsula
Observe where the mountains literally meet the sea in Sierra Leone, providing a dramatic geographical transition.
Gambia River Mouth
The wide, winding entrance of the Gambia River as it empties into the Atlantic near Banjul.
Cap-Vert Peninsula
The final approach provides a spectacular view of the Dakar peninsula, the westernmost point of the African continent.
The right side is significantly more scenic for land-based landmarks. For the best visibility, avoid the Harmattan season (December to February) when dust from the Sahara can obscure the ground. During the rainy season, you will see incredibly vibrant greens, but morning flights are recommended to avoid afternoon thunderstorms that can block the view.

Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the vast Atlantic Ocean and the deep blue waters of the Gulf of Guinea.
Bijagós Archipelago
A stunning bird's-eye view of the 88 islands and islets off the coast of Guinea-Bissau, known for their unique biodiversity.
Maritime Sunset
On late afternoon flights, the left side provides a front-row seat as the sun sets directly over the ocean horizon.
Shipping Lanes
Spot large cargo vessels and tankers queuing for entry into the major ports of Abidjan, Monrovia, and Freetown.
Choose the left side if you prefer peaceful ocean views or are flying during the golden hour to catch the sunset. It is also the better side for spotting the intricate patterns of the Bijagós islands as you approach the halfway mark of the journey.
