Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a continuous panoramic view of the West African coastline, passing directly over major cities, lagoons, and the massive Volta River estuary.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏙️

Cotonou and Port

Aerial view of Benin's largest city and its busy autonomous port immediately after takeoff.

🇹🇬

Lomé Skyline

Clear view of the Togolese capital, including the palm-lined beaches and the Presidential Palace.

💧

Keta Lagoon

Ghana's largest lagoon, a vast and shimmering expanse of brackish water separated from the sea by a narrow strip of land.

🛶

Volta River Estuary

The dramatic point where the mighty Volta River flows into the Atlantic Ocean at Ada Foah.

🏗️

Tema Industrial Zone

A view of Ghana's primary industrial hub and the massive artificial harbor just before the final approach.

🇬🇭

Accra Urban Sprawl

The dense, vibrant landscape of the Ghanaian capital as the plane aligns for the runway at Kotoka.

This is a very short, low-altitude flight, making the right side exceptionally scenic. For the best clarity, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you. Keep your camera ready as you cross the border from Togo into Ghana, as the Keta Lagoon and Volta Estuary appear in quick succession.

Left Side Highlights
4.2
🌊

Gulf of Guinea

Unobstructed views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean stretching toward the horizon.

🚢

Shipping Lanes

Dozens of cargo ships and tankers anchored in the deep waters outside the ports of Lomé and Tema.

🌅

Oceanic Sunset

On evening flights, the sun sets directly over the water, creating a stunning golden reflection on the waves.

The left side is best for passengers who prefer a glare-free view during the afternoon and those interested in spotting maritime traffic. Look for the 'ghost fleet' of ships waiting to dock at Tema Port during the final descent into Accra.
