Our Recommendation

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏙️

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.

Left Side Highlights
6.2
🌊

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.
