Search flights from ACC to WDH
Atlantic Vastness
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean and the distant horizon throughout the cruise.
Skeleton Coast
The legendary stretch of coastline where massive sand dunes meet the Atlantic surf, often shrouded in atmospheric mist.
Namib Sand Sea
Iconic views of the rolling, high-contrast orange and red dunes of the world's oldest desert.
Coastal Settlements
Potential views of Swakopmund and Walvis Bay depending on the specific approach path taken by the aircraft.
For the best experience, choose the right side on afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the morning sun. The highlight is the approach into Namibian airspace; look for the distinct line where the ocean meets the desert. Use a polarizing filter for photography to cut through the coastal haze and enhance the deep reds of the Namib dunes.

Accra Coastline
Aerial views of the Greater Accra region and the Gulf of Guinea immediately after takeoff.
Congolese Rainforests

Angolan Highlands
The rugged terrain and high plateaus of central Angola, featuring deep river valleys and rocky outcrops.
Namibian Escarpment

The left side is ideal for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the African interior. Keep an eye out for the Kwanza River in Angola, which serves as a major landmark during the mid-flight cruise. As you descend into Windhoek, the mountainous terrain surrounding the city is most visible from this side.
