Mayombe Rainforest
A dense, emerald-green canopy stretching across the Republic of Congo and Gabon.
Ogooué River
The massive, winding waterway that serves as the lifeblood of the Gabonese interior.
Mount Cameroon
Africa's most active volcano and highest peak in West Africa, visible on the approach to Douala.
Wouri Estuary
The complex network of mangrove swamps and waterways surrounding the city of Douala.
Libreville Periphery
Views of the sprawling outskirts of Gabon's capital city as the plane heads north.
Sit on the right for the most geographically diverse views. Morning flights are highly recommended to see Mount Cameroon, as it is often obscured by afternoon heat haze or thunderclouds. Keep an eye out for the distinct meandering patterns of tropical rivers through the jungle.

Gulf of Guinea
Expansive views of the Atlantic Ocean meeting the western edge of the continent.
Corisco Bay
Aerial views of the remote islands near the border of Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.
Ocean Sunsets
On late afternoon flights, this side offers dramatic sunset colors over the water.
Choose this side if you prefer the serenity of the ocean. For the best experience, book an evening flight to watch the sun dip below the Atlantic horizon. During clear weather, look for the distinct color change in the water where river sediment meets the sea.
