Sierra Leone Peninsula
Stunning views of the world-class beaches including River No. 2 and Tokeh Beach.
Monrovia Coastline
The port and coastal edge of the Liberian capital where the Mesurado River meets the sea.
Gulf of Guinea
Infinite views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean with occasional sightings of international cargo ships.
Assinie-Mafia Strips
Narrow, picturesque sandbars in Côte d'Ivoire separating the ocean from the calm lagoons.
Accra Coastal Approach
A low-altitude sweep over the Ghanaian shoreline and Labadi Beach before touching down at Kotoka.
The right side is best for afternoon flights to capture the golden hour light hitting the beaches. Keep your camera ready during takeoff from FNA and landing at ACC, as these are the most scenic moments. Watch for the distinct 'line' where river sediment meets the clear ocean water near the coast of Liberia.

Freetown Urban Hills
Aerial view of the Sierra Leonean capital tucked between the Atlantic and lush green mountains.
Upper Guinean Rainforest
Vast stretches of dense tropical forest spanning the borders of Liberia and Côte d'Ivoire.
Abidjan Plateau
The 'Manhattan of Africa' skyline with its distinctive skyscrapers visible north of the Ebrié Lagoon.
Volta Basin Outskirts
The complex network of river systems and agricultural land as you enter Ghanaian airspace.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is ideal for spotting the dense inland vegetation and the urban layout of major cities like Abidjan. During the Harmattan season (December-February), visibility may be reduced by dust, making the land features harder to see.
