A massive coastal island featuring diverse wetlands, mangroves, and remote sandy beaches.
Turtle Islands
A group of eight small, picturesque islands visible shortly after departure from Freetown.

Freetown Peninsula
View the dramatic mountain range that defines the Sierra Leone coastline immediately after takeoff.
Upper Guinean Forest
Observe the dense, lush green canopy of the tropical rainforests stretching across the interior.
Mano River
Identify the winding river that serves as the natural international border between Sierra Leone and Liberia.
Interior Topography
Spot the rolling hills and agricultural patterns unique to the West African hinterland.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare from the Atlantic Ocean. This side is better for spotting inland river networks and the dense forest terrain of the Mano River Union region. Look out for the distinct change in vegetation patterns as you cross into Liberia.
