Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the sprawling Lagos coastline, the Eko Atlantic development, and the intricate, shimmering waterways of the Niger Delta as they meet the Atlantic Ocean.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Lagos Atlantic Front

Breathtaking views of Victoria Island, Eko Atlantic, and the long sandy stretches of Lekki.

🌿

Niger Delta Creeks

An intricate maze of mangrove swamps and silver-threaded waterways that define the Nigerian coast.

⚓

Escravos River Mouth

The massive estuary where the river meets the Bight of Benin, often dotted with cargo ships.

🏗️

Oil Infrastructure

Visible offshore platforms and flow stations that characterize the energy-rich region.

The right side is best for afternoon flights to capture the sun reflecting off the Delta's vast water network. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff to capture the Lekki Peninsula's rapid development. Visibility is highest between November and February, though Harmattan haze can occasionally obscure the horizon.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Lagos Mainland View

Aerial perspective of the densely populated Ikeja and Mushin districts immediately after takeoff.

🌳

Tropical Rainforests

Lush green stretches of the Omo Forest Reserve and the inland vegetation of Edo State.

🐍

Benin River Curves

The dramatic, snake-like winding paths of the Benin River as it snakes toward the delta.

Morning flights are ideal for the left side to avoid direct sunlight glare. Watch for the sharp contrast between the urban sprawl of Lagos and the deep green forest canopies. During the rainy season, you can often see localized rain cells over the inland forests.
