Lagos Metropolis
View the sprawling urban density and bridge networks of Nigeria's largest city shortly after takeoff.
Niger Delta Network
Observe the complex maze of rivers, creeks, and mangrove forests where the Niger River meets the Atlantic.
Offshore Oil Rigs
Spot industrial infrastructure and gas flares dotting the Bight of Biafra's rich maritime oil fields.
Mount Cameroon
On clear days, see West Africa's highest peak rising dramatically above the clouds near the Nigerian-Cameroonian border.
Rio Muni Interior
Dense tropical rainforests of mainland Equatorial Guinea become visible during the final descent into Bata.
Sit on the left for the most varied scenery. For the best visibility of Mount Cameroon, choose a morning flight when the air is typically clearer before the tropical afternoon clouds develop. This side also avoids direct afternoon sun glare when traveling southeastward. Keep your camera ready about 30-40 minutes into the flight for the Niger Delta transit.

Maritime Traffic
Watch for cargo ships and tankers navigating the busy international shipping lanes toward the Port of Bata.
Bata Waterfront
As the plane turns for its final approach, capture views of the Bata coastline and its prominent pier.
The right side is ideal for passengers seeking a serene, glare-free flight during morning hours. While the view is primarily maritime, it offers the best perspective of the Bata coastline during the landing pattern. If flying in the late afternoon, you will witness a spectacular sunset over the Atlantic Ocean.
