Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most dramatic geological features, including the volcanic landscapes of the Great Rift Valley and the spectacular sight of Mount Cameroon, the highest peak in West Africa.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌋

Lake Kivu

An emerald-green volcanic lake surrounded by high-altitude mountains shortly after departure from Kigali.

💧

Ubangi River

A massive, winding tributary of the Congo River that carves deep loops through the dense jungle below.

🏔️

Mount Cameroon

A towering active volcano rising 4,040 meters directly from the coast, often poking through the cloud layer.

🏙️

Douala City

Cameroon's largest city and major port, providing a clear urban contrast to the surrounding greenery.

🏙️

Lagos Mainland

A breathtaking aerial view of the sprawling megacity, including the Third Mainland Bridge and Lagos Lagoon.

Sit here to capture the iconic Mount Cameroon, which usually appears about 3.5 hours into the flight. Morning flights are ideal for this side as the air is clearer before afternoon convective clouds typical of the tropics build up and obscure the terrain.

7.2
🌳

Congo Basin Canopy

Infinite stretches of the world's second-largest tropical rainforest, appearing as a dense green carpet.

🌊

Gulf of Guinea

The dramatic transition where the African continent meets the Atlantic Ocean along the West African coast.

🛶

Niger Delta

An intricate network of thousands of rivers and creeks forming a massive fan-shaped wetland system.

🏖️

Lekki Peninsula

Vibrant views of the Atlantic coastline and the expanding urban developments of Lagos's Victoria Island.

Choose this side for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Atlantic. During the final descent into LOS, keep an eye out for the distinct red gas flares in the Niger Delta, which are particularly visible at night or during twilight.
