Waza National Park
Fly over the edge of one of West Africa's most famous parks, looking for seasonal pools and vast savannahs.
Logone River Border
The plane tracks near the Logone River, which serves as the international boundary between Cameroon and Chad.
N'Djamena Confluence
Spectacular views of the Chari and Logone rivers meeting at the heart of the city before touchdown.
The right side is highly recommended for late morning flights. Keep a sharp eye out for Waza National Park's unique ecosystem. If the flight arrives from the south, you'll get a perfect view of the Presidential Palace and the Grand Mosque near the city center.
