Accra & Tema
Visible shortly after takeoff, see the sprawling urban density of Accra transitioning into the industrial docks of Tema.
Volta River Delta
A spectacular view of the Volta River meeting the Atlantic Ocean at Ada Foah, creating a patchwork of islands and sandbars.
Keta Lagoon
One of West Africa's largest lagoons, appearing as a shimmering expanse of water separated from the sea by a thin strip of land.
Aflao-Lomé Border
Observe the bustling land border crossing between Ghana and Togo as the aircraft begins its final descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the glare of the Atlantic sun. Look out for the distinct change in water color where the Volta River sediment meets the ocean. This short flight remains at a lower altitude, making these landmarks very clear in good weather.
