Isles de Los
A stunning archipelago of volcanic islands visible immediately after departure from Conakry.
West African Coastline
Continuous views of the Atlantic surf crashing against the sandy shores of Sierra Leone and Liberia.
Grand-Lahou Lagoons
The striking geographic point where the Bandama River meets the sea amidst a complex network of lagoons.
Abidjan Plateau
The impressive skyline of the 'Manhattan of Africa' is best viewed from this side during the approach to runway 03.
Ebrié Lagoon
The massive 130km long lagoon that defines the geography of Abidjan, looking spectacular during the final descent.
The right side is the clear winner for coastal scenery. For the best experience, choose an afternoon flight to see the sun reflecting off the Ebrié Lagoon. During the descent, look for the Vridi Canal which connects the port of Abidjan to the ocean.

Conakry Hinterland
Aerial views of the Guinean capital's dense urban layout as it transitions into the foothills of the Fouta Djallon.
Taï National Park
One of the last major remnants of the primary tropical forest in West Africa, visible as a vast, dark green canopy.
Northern Abidjan
The expanding residential districts of Abobo and the lush Banco National Park on the city's northern edge.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. This side is ideal for spotting the dense rainforests of the Guinea-Ivory Coast border region, especially during the rainy season when the greenery is most vibrant.
