Continuous panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean as the plane skirts the West African coast.
Port of Lomé
A clear view of West Africa's only natural deepwater port and the numerous cargo ships anchored offshore.
Keta Lagoon
A stunning view of the narrow sandbar separating the massive Keta Lagoon from the ocean, featuring colonial forts like Fort Prinzenstein.
Volta River Estuary
The dramatic point where the Volta River flows into the sea at Ada Foah, often marked by swirling currents and sandbanks.
Tema Harbor
Ghana's largest seaport, visible during the descent into Accra, filled with industrial activity and shipping containers.
Book a window seat on the left (Port side) for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the Atlantic. Look closely at the Keta area to see how thin the strip of land is between the lagoon and the sea. This short flight stays at a low altitude, providing excellent detail of the coastal fishing villages.
