Douala Cityscape
An immediate view of the Wouri River and the sprawling industrial and residential districts of Cameroon's largest city.
Coastal Mangroves
Lush, dark green mangrove ecosystems lining the border between Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea.
Rio Muni Rainforest
A vast, unbroken canopy of tropical rainforest stretching across the mainland territory of Equatorial Guinea.
Mitemele River
Winding silver river veins cutting through the deep green landscape near the Gabon border.
Gabon Estuary
A dramatic view of the Komo River meeting the Atlantic Ocean as the aircraft descends into Libreville.
Sit on the left for morning departures to have the sun behind you, illuminating the forest floor. Look out for the Wouri River immediately after takeoff and the expansive Komo River estuary as you descend into Libreville. High humidity often creates haze, so early morning flights typically offer the best visibility of the ground.

Bioko Island
The silhouette of the volcanic peaks of Malabo rising out of the Gulf of Guinea to the west.
Gulf of Guinea
Expansive views of the Atlantic Ocean, often dotted with offshore oil platforms and shipping vessels.
Corisco Island
A small, secluded island with white sand beaches visible near the border of Equatorial Guinea and Gabon.
Shipping Lanes
Observation of tankers and cargo ships queuing for the major ports of the Central African coast.
Ocean Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the horizon, offering spectacular light play during late afternoon flights.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Gulf of Guinea. Keep an eye out for the distinct silhouette of Bioko Island shortly after takeoff and the turquoise waters around Corisco Island mid-flight. Polarized sunglasses will help reduce the glare off the ocean surface.
