Which side of the plane to sit from Bangui M'Poko International Airport (Bangui) to Douala International Airport (Douala)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers an exceptional aerial view of the Bangui skyline during departure and, most significantly, the opportunity to spot the towering Mount Cameroon during the descent into Douala.

Bangui Skyline
A clear view of the Central African Republic's capital and the 'Place de la Republique' area.
Adamawa Foothills
The landscape transitions from flat forest to the rising, rolling hills leading toward the northern plateaus.
Yaoundé Perimeter
While passing north of the capital, the outer districts and hilly terrain of the 'City of Seven Hills' may be visible.
Mount Cameroon
On clear days, West Africa's highest peak emerges from the clouds to the northwest as you approach Douala.
Choose the right side for the chance to see Mount Cameroon, which is the highlight of the region. Morning flights are highly recommended because tropical clouds usually gather around the mountain by midday, obscuring the peak. Sit away from the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the volcanic silhouette during the descent.

Ubangi River Bend
The massive, winding artery of the Ubangi River is visible immediately after takeoff from Bangui.
Sangha Rainforest
Dense, uninterrupted canopy of the Congo Basin rainforest stretches as far as the eye can see.
Sanaga River Crossing
A view of the longest river in Cameroon as it cuts through the southern forested plains.
Douala Southern Suburbs
Dense urban sprawl and the industrial zones bordering the Wouri estuary during final approach.
Sit on the left for the best views of the deep green rainforest canopy. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, highlighting the distinct layers of the forest and the shimmering water of the Sanaga River. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff to capture the scale of the Ubangi River.
