BZV β OLL
Which side of the plane to sit from Maya-Maya Airport (Brazzaville) to Oyo Ollombo Airport (Oyo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular view of the Congo River and the unique perspective of seeing two national capitals, Brazzaville and Kinshasa, simultaneously.
Malebo Pool
The dramatic widening of the Congo River into a lake-like expanse right after takeoff from Brazzaville.
Kinshasa Skyline
The sprawling capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo is visible just across the river, showing the world's closest two capital cities.
Congo River Channels
Intricate networks of islands, sandbars, and river traffic moving along one of the world's most powerful waterways.
Alima River
Beautiful views of the winding Alima River as the plane begins its descent into the Oyo Ollombo region.
This is the 'scenic side' for the first half of the flight. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff for the Malebo Pool. In the late afternoon, the river reflects the golden hour sunlight beautifully.
Brazzaville Urban Sprawl
A clear view of the Congolese capital's layout, including the Nabemba Tower and the Basilique Sainte-Anne.
BatΓ©kΓ© Plateaus
Vast stretches of high-altitude sandy plateaus and rolling savannas characteristic of the Plateaux Department.
Cuvette Woodlands
The landscape transitions into the lush, dense equatorial forests and swamps as you fly north toward Oyo.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the equatorial sun. It provides a better view of the inland topography and the distinct red earth roads carving through the greenery.
