Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers spectacular views of the Atlantic coastline and the stunning Bijagos Archipelago, which is the clear highlight of this flight path.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏙️

Cap-Vert Peninsula

Immediate views of Dakar and the African continent's westernmost point upon departure.

🏝️

Bijagos Archipelago

A breathtaking UNESCO biosphere reserve featuring 88 islands and emerald waters.

🌊

Guinea Coastline

The rugged and indented coastline where the Atlantic meets the Guinean mangroves.

🚤

Iles de Los

A small group of volcanic islands located just off the coast of Conakry during the final approach.

The right side is the premier choice for this route. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for photographing the Bijagos Islands. Ensure you have a window seat clear of the wing for the best view of the archipelago midway through the flight.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🌿

Saloum Delta

Aerial perspective of the Sine-Saloum mangrove forests and intricate salt flats.

💧

Gambia River

A view of the wide river snaking deep into the Gambian interior.

🌳

Casamance Forests

Dense tropical greenery and rice paddies characteristic of southern Senegal.

⛰️

Fouta Djallon Distant Peaks

The rising elevations of the Guinean highlands visible on the eastern horizon.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct sun glare from the Atlantic. This side is better for observing the transition from the dry Sahelian landscapes to the lush tropical zones of Guinea.
