Dense tropical vegetation and meandering water channels in the fringes of the Niger Delta.

Atlantic Coastline

Book an 'A' seat for the best perspective. During the descent into Lagos, keep your camera ready for the transition from rural wetlands to the dense urban islands. In the late afternoon, this side avoids the direct glare of the sun, making for better photography of the coastline.
