Which side of the plane to sit from Kotoka International Airport (Accra) to Takoradi Airport (Takoradi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a spectacular panoramic view of the Ghanaian 'Gold Coast,' featuring historic UNESCO-listed forts, vibrant coastal towns, and the intersection of the lush tropical landscape with the sea.
Accra Cityscape
A clear view of the capital's expansion, including the bustling markets and suburban developments shortly after takeoff.
Cape Coast & Elmina Castles
Aerial perspectives of these historic white-washed slave forts, which are iconic UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Muni-Pomadze Lagoon
The scenic wetlands and bird sanctuaries located near the coastal town of Winneba.
Tropical Greenery
The transition from urban concrete to the lush, verdant vegetation of the southern Ghanaian plains.
Takoradi Port
A detailed view of the industrial heart of Ghana's oil and gas industry as you descend into the city.
The right side is essential for photography enthusiasts. Since this is a short, low-altitude flight, details of the historic forts are very clear. Book a morning flight to have the sun behind you for the best lighting on the landmarks. During the Harmattan season (Dec-Feb), visibility may be reduced, so aim for mid-morning flights after the haze has partially lifted.
Gulf of Guinea
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean extending to the horizon.
Offshore Shipping Lanes
Cargo vessels and tankers queued up for entry into the busy ports of Tema and Takoradi.
Pristine Beaches
Stretches of golden sand and crashing white surf visible along the Central Region coastline.
Choose the left side for a more tranquil experience with minimal glare from the sun during afternoon flights. It is particularly good for spotting the deep-sea infrastructure and the occasional fishing fleet near the horizon.
