Atlantic Coastline
Continuous views of the rugged West African coast where the ocean meets the golden sands of Senegal.
Saloum Delta
A stunning maze of mangrove channels, saltwater lagoons, and over 200 islands visible from above.
Joal-Fadiouth
The famous island made of seashells, connected to the mainland by a long wooden bridge.
Goree Island
The historic island and former slave trading post, clearly visible in the bay during the descent into Dakar.
Cape Verde Peninsula
The westernmost point of the African continent, showcasing Dakar's unique geography surrounded by sea.
For the clearest views of the coast and Goree Island, morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing to capture the Saloum Delta's intricate water patterns. During the harmattan season (December to March), visibility can be reduced by dust, so a lower altitude flight is preferable.

The right side is better for afternoon flights to avoid the glare of the setting sun over the ocean. It provides a better sense of Senegal's terrestrial diversity, from the tropical south to the more arid central regions. Watch for the dramatic change in soil color from the red earth of the south to the sandier tones of the north.
