The mountainous coastline of Sierra Leone where the hills meet the Atlantic Ocean.

Casamance River
Deep green mangroves and winding river channels of southern Senegal's Casamance region.
Fouta Djallon Foothills
The rising elevations of Guinea's highlands visible in the distance with lush, rolling terrain.
Mount Nimba
A glimpse of the high-altitude rainforests near the convergence of Guinea, Liberia, and Côte d'Ivoire.
Taï National Park
Aerial views of one of the last primary rainforests in West Africa, a massive expanse of deep green.
Ebrié Lagoon
The vast inland waterway system that surrounds Abidjan, visible just before touchdown.
Choose the left side for inland geographic diversity. Early morning flights provide the best lighting for photography of the dense rainforest canopies of Liberia and Ivory Coast. During the Harmattan season (December-February), visibility may be reduced by dust, making inland features harder to spot.
