Lagos Metropolis
A sprawling view of Nigeria's largest city, including the Lagos Lagoon and the Third Mainland Bridge.
The Niger Delta
An intricate network of rivers, creeks, and mangrove swamps where the Niger River meets the Atlantic.
Mount Cameroon
The highest peak in West Africa, an active volcano that often rises above the clouds near the coast.
Gabon Rainforest
Lush, dense tropical canopies as the plane enters Gabonese airspace near the Estuaire du Gabon.
For the best experience, book a seat on the left for a morning flight; the sun will be on the opposite side, providing perfect lighting for photography of the coastline. This side is also essential for a scenic approach into Libreville as you cross the estuary.

Gulf of Guinea
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean and the curvature of the horizon.
Bioko Island
The volcanic silhouette of Equatorial Guinea's main island, featuring the massive Pico Basile peak.
Atlantic Sunset
On late afternoon or evening flights, this side provides front-row seats to spectacular ocean sunsets.
Choose the right side if you are flying during the late afternoon to enjoy the sunset over the water. It is also the better side for spotting the volcanic profile of Bioko Island if the flight path takes a more westerly route over the Bight of Biafra.
