The right side offers a superior vantage point for viewing the Akwapim-Togo mountain ranges and the dramatic transition from the coastal plains of Accra to the lush, rolling highlands of the Ashanti Region.
Search flights from ACC to KMS
Akwapim Ridge
The scenic mountain range that rises sharply from the coastal plains, often dotted with mist in the early morning.
Eastern Region Highlands
Lush, hilly terrain and valleys filled with tropical vegetation and small agricultural settlements.
Koforidua Landscape
Distant views of the area surrounding the regional capital, known for its distinctive rock formations.
Kumasi Urban Center
The dense, vibrant core of Kumasi, including the central markets and stadium area, during the approach to KMS.
The right side is ideal for capturing the elevation changes of the Akwapim mountains. For the best photography, choose a flight before 10:00 AM when the air is clearest and the shadows emphasize the mountain topography. During the rainy season, watch for the vibrant emerald hues of the rejuvenated forest canopy.

Accra Urban Sprawl
A bird's-eye view of the capital's dense residential layout and the evolving skyline shortly after takeoff.
Weija Reservoir
The large water body formed by the Dam on the Densu River, visible west of the flight path.
Ashanti Forest Belt
Expansive stretches of tropical greenery that define the landscape as you enter the Ashanti Region.
Kumasi Suburbs
The sprawling peripheral communities of the Garden City appearing during the final descent.
Sit on the left for early morning departures to avoid direct sun glare. Keep your eyes peeled roughly 10 minutes after takeoff for the glint of the Weija Reservoir. This side provides a great perspective of the dense urban development shifting into secondary forest.
