Search flights from LBV to COO
Mount Cameroon
The highest point in West and Central Africa, this active volcano rises dramatically near the coastline.
Bioko Island
View the volcanic peak of Pico Basile on this island belonging to Equatorial Guinea as you fly past Malabo.
Niger Delta
The vast and complex network of rivers, mangroves, and creeks where the Niger River meets the Atlantic.
Lagos Coastline
The sprawling megalopolis of Lagos may be visible as the flight tracks toward the Bight of Benin.
Lake Nokoué
The large lake adjacent to Cotonou, famous for its stilt villages, visible during the final descent.
The right side is essential for seeing Mount Cameroon and Bioko Island. These are best viewed in the morning before tropical convective clouds obscure the peaks. Keep your camera ready about 20-30 minutes after takeoff from Libreville to catch Bioko and then the Cameroon coastline. As you approach Cotonou, look for the contrast between the yellow sand beaches and the dark green inland lagoons.

Atlantic Ocean Panoramas
Expansive views of the Gulf of Guinea and the deep blue waters of the Bight of Biafra.
Shipping Corridors
Frequent sightings of cargo vessels and oil tankers navigating the busy West African maritime routes.
Oceanic Sunset
On evening flights, the left side provides a direct view of the sun setting over the Atlantic horizon.
The left side is predominantly ocean-facing for the duration of the flight. It is best suited for travelers who prefer a peaceful view or those on late afternoon flights looking to capture the sunset over the water. Glare can be significant during mid-day flights.
