The intricate network of mangrove forests and salt flats where the Saloum River meets the Atlantic shortly after takeoff.
Fouta Djallon Highlands
Verdant plateaus and rolling mountains in Guinea, known as the 'water tower' of West Africa.
Abidjan Skyline
Dramatic views of the Ébrié Lagoon and the skyscrapers of the 'Paris of West Africa' as you traverse Côte d'Ivoire.
Lake Volta
The massive expanse of one of the world's largest man-made reservoirs visible just inland from the Ghanaian coast.
Accra and Lomé
Succesive views of Ghana and Togo's coastal capitals as the flight follows the Bight of Benin.
Book a window seat on the left (port) side for a morning flight to avoid the direct glare of the sun while enjoying clear views of the coastline. During the Harmattan season (December to February), visibility can be reduced by dust, so late spring or summer flights often offer the crispest views of the lush tropical forests below.

Lagos Offshore Rigs

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights, offering magnificent sunset views over the Atlantic.

Keep an eye out for the distinct line where the turquoise coastal waters meet the deep navy of the open ocean.
