Which side of the plane to sit from Cabinda Airport (Cabinda) to Soyo Airport (Soyo)?

The Right Side offers a spectacular view of the Atlantic coastline and the dramatic convergence where the massive Congo River pours its sediment-rich waters into the ocean, alongside views of the region's prominent offshore oil industry.
Search flights from CAB to SZA
Atlantic Coastline
Continuous views of the pristine and rugged coastline separating the Cabinda exclave from the Atlantic.
Malongo Oil Platforms
A unique aerial perspective of the massive offshore oil extraction infrastructure that powers the local economy.
Congo River Mouth
The highlight of the trip, where the dark, sediment-heavy waters of the Congo River clash with the blue Atlantic.
Ponta do Padrão
A glimpse of the historic sandy spit at the mouth of the river, marking the entry point to Soyo.
The right side is superior for observing the distinct 'ocean-river' line where the water changes color. Aim for a midday flight for the best water clarity and to minimize glare from the sun reflecting off the Atlantic. Look closely for the large tankers navigating the river mouth.

Cabinda Cityscape
A view of the provincial capital's urban layout and the bustling port area shortly after takeoff.
Mayombe Edge
The fringes of the dense tropical rainforest that characterizes the interior of the Cabinda exclave.
Congo River Tributaries
The intricate network of small streams and wetlands that feed into the main river delta near Soyo.
On the left, focus on the inland greenery and the river's eastern channels. Since this is a very short flight (often under 30 minutes), be ready with your camera immediately after takeoff to capture the landscape before the quick descent.
