Which side of the plane to sit from Libreville Leon M'ba International Airport (Libreville) to Pointe Noire Airport (Pointe-noire)?
Right Side of the Plane
Flying south along the Atlantic coast, the Right Side offers stunning views of the pristine Gabonese coastline, including remote lagoons and national parks where the forest meets the sea.
Pristine Coastline
Uninterrupted stretches of white sand beaches bordered by thick, dark green jungle.
Loango National Park
Aerial view of the park known for its diverse wildlife sightings where the forest meets the shore.
Port-Gentil Peninsula
The industrial hub of Gabon visible as a distinct landmass protruding into the ocean.
Coastal Lagoons
Large, calm bodies of water like Fernan Vaz and Iguela separated from the ocean by narrow strips of land.
Atlantic Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue South Atlantic Ocean during the cruise phase.
Choose the right side for the most iconic views of the Gabonese wild coast. Morning flights avoid the glare of the afternoon sun over the water. This side is particularly dramatic during the dry season between June and August when the air is generally clearer.
Libreville Departure
Quick view of the Gabonese capital and the Komo estuary right after takeoff.
Ogooué Delta
Large winding channels of Gabon's largest river system flowing into the Atlantic.
Congo Basin Forest
Endless stretches of dense tropical rainforest, part of the world's second-largest rainforest.
Mayombe Range
Lush, low-lying mountain ridges visible as the plane descends toward Pointe-Noire.
The left side provides a deep look into the heart of the equatorial forest. Best seen in the early morning when the mist settles in the valleys, creating a surreal landscape. Keep an eye out for river systems cutting through the green canopy.
