Atlantic Coastline
Striking views of the turquoise ocean crashing against the Saharan cliffs of Western Sahara.
Banc d'Arguin
The shallow, turquoise coastal waters of the Mauritanian coast, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Dakar & West African Ports
Distant glimpses of major coastal hubs and the westernmost point of the African continent.
Gulf of Guinea
The massive blue expanse where the Atlantic Ocean meets the curve of Central Africa.
Mount Cameroon
One of Africa's largest volcanoes, rising majestically near the coast as you approach Yaoundé.
The right side is unbeatable for late afternoon flights, offering spectacular sunsets over the Atlantic Ocean. Ensure you have a window seat clear of the wing to spot Mount Cameroon during the descent; it is often visible above the clouds. Use a polarizer on your camera to cut through the Saharan haze for clearer shots of the coastline.

Middle Atlas Mountains
Witness the rugged, snow-dusted peaks of the Atlas range shortly after departing Casablanca.
Erg Chech Dunes
Vast, undulating waves of red and orange sand in the heart of the Sahara desert.
The Sahel Transition
A fascinating ecological shift from the arid desert to the semi-arid savanna of West Africa.
Niger River Basin
Possible views of the winding river segments that provide life to the dry interior.
Congo Basin Fringe
The landscape transforms into a deep, lush green as you enter the dense tropical rainforests of Cameroon.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep your eyes peeled for the 'Eye of the Sahara' (Richat Structure) if the flight path trends slightly more inland. The transition from red earth to deep green forest is most dramatic on this side during the second half of the journey.
