Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a continuous and breathtaking view of the Atlantic coastline, where the deep blue ocean meets the increasingly arid landscapes of southern Angola.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏖️

Mussulo Peninsula

A stunning 30km long sand spit and lagoon located immediately south of Luanda's city center.

🌊

Cabo Ledo Bay

Famous for its world-class surf breaks and dramatic white limestone cliffs overlooking the Atlantic.

🚢

Lobito Sandspit

The unique Restinga peninsula that creates one of Africa's finest natural deep-water harbors.

⛱️

Baía Azul

The 'Blue Bay' of Benguela, known for its crystal clear waters and semi-circular sandy beaches.

🏜️

Namib Desert Edge

The spectacular point where the world's oldest desert meets the ocean as you approach Namibe.

The right side is superior for coastal photography. On afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you or directly above, providing perfect lighting for the turquoise waters and golden sands. As you descend into MSZ, watch for the stark contrast between the blue Atlantic and the orange dunes.

🏙️

Luanda Skyline

A panoramic view of the Angolan capital's urban sprawl and harbor as the plane ascends south.

🏞️

Cuanza River Delta

The mouth of Angola's most important river, carving a wide path through the green terrain.

🐘

Kissama National Park

Aerial glimpses of the vast savannah and wildlife sanctuary located just south of the capital.

⛰️

Central Escarpment

The dramatic transition from the coastal plains to the high central plateau of the interior.

🏘️

Benguela Hinterlands

View of the rural settlements and agricultural patches surrounding the historic city of Benguela.

Choose the left side for morning departures to see the rising sun illuminate the inland mountains. Keep an eye out for the winding Cuanza River shortly after takeoff, which marks the boundary of Kissama National Park.
