Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular continuous view of the West African coastline, including the massive Mount Cameroon, the intricate Niger Delta, and the bustling urban centers of Nigeria and Benin.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🌋

Mount Cameroon

Look for the towering peak of West Africa's highest volcano rising sharply from the coast near the Cameroon-Nigeria border.

🌿

Niger Delta

A sprawling network of rivers, mangroves, and tributaries that form one of the world's largest river deltas.

🏙️

Lagos Skyline

Aerial views of Africa's most populous city, including the Third Mainland Bridge and the developing Eko Atlantic district.

🚤

Lake Nokoué

Near Cotonou, view the large lake known for Ganvie, the famous stilt village often referred to as the Venice of Africa.

🇬🇦

Libreville Estuary

Immediately after takeoff, enjoy views of the Komo River meeting the Atlantic and the lush Gabonese rainforest surrounding the capital.

The right side is essential for this route. Request a window seat away from the wing for an unobstructed view of Mount Cameroon, which is best seen in the morning when the air is clearest. During the dry season (December-February), be aware that Harmattan haze may reduce visibility of the land, though the silhouette of the mountains usually remains visible.

Left Side Highlights
5.4
🌊

Gulf of Guinea

Deep blue vistas of the Atlantic Ocean stretching toward the horizon throughout the duration of the flight.

🏝️

Bioko Island

Distant views of the volcanic peaks of Equatorial Guinea's main island depending on the flight path's distance from the coast.

🚢

Port of Lomé

As the plane turns for its final approach into LFW, you can see the massive container ships anchored in one of West Africa's deepest ports.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun reflecting off the water. While the views are mostly oceanic, it provides a serene experience and a clear view of the final turn over the Atlantic before touching down in Togo.
