Atlantic Coastline
The meeting point of the deep blue ocean and the vibrant green West African coastline.
Cap Skirring Beaches
Iconic white sand beaches and luxury resorts along the Senegalese coast near the border.
Geba River Estuary
The massive silt-laden mouth of the Geba River as it opens into the Atlantic.
Bijagós Archipelago
Distant glimpses of the northernmost islands of this UNESCO biosphere reserve during the descent.
The right side is unbeatable for evening flights during sunset over the Atlantic. As the flight is very short and low altitude, keep your camera ready from takeoff to landing for high-detail coastal views.

Lush tropical forest canopies and dense mangroves covering the southern Senegal region.
Ziguinchor View
The regional capital of Casamance visible on the banks of the river just before the Guinea-Bissau border.
