Our Recommendation
8.5

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

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.
