Kumasi City View
A comprehensive overhead view of the 'Garden City' including the Baba Yara Sports Stadium right after takeoff.
Pra River Curves
The meandering path of the Pra River cutting through the dense southern greenery.
Accra Central Skyline
A clear view of the modern skyscrapers in the Ridge and Airport City districts during descent.
Gulf of Guinea
The vast blue horizon of the Atlantic Ocean appearing as the plane turns for its final approach.
Black Star Square
The iconic national monument and Independence Arch are often visible near the coastline on the approach to Runway 21.
Select a window seat on the right for the best chance to see the Accra coastline. During the Harmattan season (December to February), visibility can be significantly reduced by dust; mid-morning flights are usually the clearest during this period. Keep your camera ready as the plane descends over the dense urban grid of Accra.

Ashanti Forest Canopy
Dense tropical rainforest stretches across the Ashanti region shortly after takeoff from Kumasi.
Lake Volta Horizon
On clear days, the massive expanse of the world's largest man-made lake is visible to the far east.
Akwapim-Togo Ranges
Scenic mountain ridges and hilly terrain that define the eastern border of the flight path.
Aburi Highlands
The lush, elevated landscape of the Aburi area serves as a gateway to the coastal plains.
Look out early for the distinct transition from forest to the mountainous terrain of the Eastern Region. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the glare of the sun, which will be to your east, though haze can sometimes limit long-distance visibility of Lake Volta.
