Historic Bobo-Dioulasso
Excellent views of the city's unique Sudano-Sahelian architecture, including the famous Grand Mosque shortly after departure.
Mouhoun River
The winding path of the Black Volta River, providing a rare green corridor through the dry Sahelian landscape.
National Route 1
The primary highway corridor connecting Burkina Faso's two largest cities, often visible with moving transport convoys.
Ouagadougou Approach
A panoramic view of the capital's dense urban sprawl and the distinct grid-like expansion of the newer neighborhoods.
Prepare your camera immediately after takeoff for the best city shots of Bobo. During the Harmattan season (December to February), visibility can be significantly reduced by dust, so late afternoon flights might offer better lighting to pierce the haze.

Sudanian Savanna
Vast stretches of savannah characterized by iconic baobab and shea trees that define the Burkinabe landscape.
Traditional Villages
Bird's-eye view of clustered circular mud-brick dwellings with thatched roofs common in the rural Hauts-Bassins region.
Houndé Mining Zone
