Gulf of Guinea Coastline
Continuous views of the Atlantic surf crashing against the sandy beaches of Ghana and Ivory Coast.
Accra & Abidjan Skylines
Excellent aerial perspectives of Ghana's capital and the 'Manhattan of Africa' featuring the Ebrié Lagoon.
Sherbro Island
The intricate network of islands and mangroves along the southern coast of Sierra Leone.
Freetown Peninsula
One of the most scenic spots in Africa where lush green mountains descend directly into the Atlantic Ocean.
Conakry Approach
A clear view of the Kaloum Peninsula and the Loos Islands as the plane descends into Guinea.
Choose a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare while capturing the vibrant blues of the ocean. This side is particularly rewarding during the late afternoon as the sun sets over the Atlantic, casting a golden glow on the coastal lagoons. Keep an eye out for the distinctive architecture of Abidjan's Plateau district.

Togo Mountains
The rolling hills of the Atakora Range extending from Togo into eastern Ghana shortly after takeoff.
Lake Volta
The massive expanse of the world's largest man-made lake, visible as a glittering inland sea.
Nimba Mountains
The UNESCO-listed mountain range on the border of Ivory Coast, Liberia, and Guinea, featuring rich biodiversity.
Upper Guinean Forests
Dense tropical rainforest canopies that remain some of the most preserved wilderness areas in the region.
Fouta Djallon Foothills
The beginning of the highland plateau as you cross into Guinean airspace, characterized by deep valleys.
The right side is best for viewing the lush interior landscapes. During the Harmattan season (December to February), visibility on this side can be significantly reduced by Saharan dust, making the coastal (left) side a safer bet. For the best experience, fly during the rainy season (May to October) when the inland forests and mountains are a brilliant, deep green.
