Search flights from LOS to SSG
Lagos Coastline
Aerial view of the Lekki Peninsula and the city's sprawling urban interface with the Atlantic Ocean.
Niger Delta
A mesmerizing network of thousands of river branches and dense mangrove forests stretching to the horizon.
Mount Cameroon
On clear days, the highest peak in West Africa is visible rising majestically at 4,040 meters above the clouds.
Bioko Island Cliffs
The steep, lush volcanic slopes of the island as the plane turns for its final approach into Malabo.
Choose a morning flight for the best chance of seeing Mount Cameroon before afternoon heat haze and tropical clouds build up. Keep your camera ready about 20-30 minutes after takeoff for the best delta views. On approach to SSG, the left side typically faces the rugged northern coastline of Bioko Island.

Gulf of Guinea
Deep blue vistas of the Atlantic Ocean and unique towering tropical cumulus cloud formations.
Maritime Traffic
Spotting large oil tankers and cargo vessels queued for the busy Nigerian and Equatorial Guinean ports.
Oil Infrastructure
Occasional views of offshore drilling rigs and gas flares dotting the coastal waters of the Bight of Biafra.
This side is preferable on afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. While mostly oceanic, look for the reflection of the sun on the water during evening arrivals, which can be spectacular over the Gulf of Guinea.
