Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the deep Congo Basin rainforest and the majestic Mount Cameroon, the region's highest peak, during the final approach into Douala.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
💧

Congo Basin Tributaries

Dozens of winding brown rivers cutting through the lush green carpet of the world's second-largest rainforest.

🛶

Sanaga River

View the largest river in Cameroon as it meanders toward the ocean near the city of Douala.

🌋

Mount Cameroon

Known as the 'Chariot of the Gods', this massive 4,040m active volcano dominates the horizon north of the airport.

Request a seat on the right for the chance to see Mount Cameroon during the approach into DLA. Morning flights are highly recommended to avoid the heavy afternoon cloud cover and thunderstorms typical of this tropical equatorial route.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Malebo Pool

A wide, lake-like reach of the Congo River separating Brazzaville and Kinshasa shortly after takeoff.

🌳

Mayombe Forest

Dense tropical canopy stretching across the borders of Congo, Gabon, and Cameroon.

🌊

Atlantic Horizon

As the flight nears Douala, the vast blue of the Gulf of Guinea becomes visible to the west.

Sit on the left for the best views of the dual capitals, Brazzaville and Kinshasa, immediately after departure. For evening flights, this side provides spectacular sunset views over the Gulf of Guinea during the descent.
