Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Addis Ababa city center upon departure, the massive Sudd wetlands in South Sudan, and the unique landscape of the Adamawa Plateau before approaching Lagos from the north.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Addis Ababa Skyline

Excellent views of the Ethiopian capital and the surrounding Entoto Mountains during the initial climb.

🌾

The Sudd Wetlands

One of the world's largest freshwater wetlands, visible as shimmering patches of water and greenery in South Sudan.

⛰️

Adamawa Plateau

Volcanic peaks and high plains along the border of Cameroon and Nigeria.

🛤️

Niger-Benue Confluence

The historic meeting point of Nigeria's two greatest rivers near the city of Lokoja.

🌉

Lagos Mainland

Aerial perspective of the sprawling urban density, including the Third Mainland Bridge stretching across the lagoon.

This side is ideal for capturing the transition from the East African highlands to the Sahelian savannas. For the best views of the Niger-Benue confluence, look out about 45-60 minutes before arrival in Lagos.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏔️

Omo Valley

The rugged landscapes of southwestern Ethiopia, home to diverse cultural heritage and steep ridges.

🌳

Congolian Rainforest

A vast, deep green canopy stretching across the northern regions of the Central African Republic.

🌊

Gulf of Guinea Coast

The glittering Atlantic coastline becomes visible as the plane banks for its final approach into Lagos.

💧

Niger Delta Network

A complex web of creeks and mangrove forests visible as you transition into Nigerian airspace.

Sit toward the back to avoid the wing obstructing views of the dense tropical forests. On morning flights, this side will be shaded, providing better conditions for photography without glare.
