Which side of the plane to sit from Yaoundé Nsimalen International Airport (Yaounde) to Libreville Leon M'ba International Airport (Libreville)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for witnessing the transition from the dense interior rainforests to the dramatic Atlantic coastline and the expansive Estuaire du Gabon upon approach.

Gulf of Guinea Coast
As the flight nears Gabon, the shimmering horizon of the Atlantic Ocean becomes visible to the west.
Ntem River Border
The natural liquid border between Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea/Gabon, cutting a silver line through the greenery.
Estuaire du Gabon
The massive estuary where the Komo River meets the Atlantic, providing a stunning backdrop during the descent.
Libreville Waterfront
Views of the Gabonese capital's coastal development and the Port of Libreville just before touchdown.
The right side is essential for the arrival phase. Request a window seat forward of the wing to get an unobstructed view of the Gabon Estuary. For evening flights, you may catch a spectacular sunset over the Atlantic as the plane aligns with the runway at LBV.

Yaoundé Seven Hills
Aerial perspective of the hilly terrain surrounding the Cameroonian capital immediately after departure from Nsimalen.
Nyong River Meanders
The deep brown waters of the Nyong River winding through the thick tropical canopy south of the airport.
Congo Basin Fringe
Endless views of the world's second-largest rainforest, characterized by a dense, unbroken green carpet.
Equatorial Cloud Formations
Towering cumulus clouds and mist rising from the humid jungle floor, common in this tropical corridor.
Sit on the left if you want to see the inland jungle topography. Early morning flights are best to avoid the heavy cloud cover that often develops by mid-afternoon due to humidity. This side is typically shielded from the harsh afternoon sun when flying south.
