Corisco Island
A small, white-sand island belonging to Equatorial Guinea situated in the Corisco Bay.
Bight of Biafra
Wide panoramic views of the Gulf of Guinea and passing maritime traffic.
Bioko Island
The massive volcanic silhouette of Pico Basile rising 3,000m from the sea near Malabo.
Wouri Estuary
The complex network of waterways and mangroves leading into the port of Douala.
For the best experience, book an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the coastline. Keep your camera ready as you pass the latitude of Malabo, as Bioko Island's peak often pierces through the clouds. Seats further forward will avoid wing obstruction for coastal photography.

Rio Muni Interior
The vast, unbroken canopy of the Equatorial Guinea mainland rainforest.
Sanaga River
The mouth of Cameroon's longest river as it discharges into the Atlantic.
Mount Cameroon
On clear days, Africa's most active volcano is visible to the North-East during descent.
Douala Skyline
The dense urban sprawl and industrial zones of Cameroon's largest city.
Morning flights offer the clearest views of the mainland before tropical convection clouds build up. Mount Cameroon is frequently shrouded in mist; however, an early flight (07:00-09:00) provides the highest probability of seeing the summit. Look for the distinct change in water color where the Sanaga River meets the ocean.
