Buchanan Coastline
Scenic views of the industrial port and the sandy stretches of southern Liberia early in the flight.
Cape Palmas
The distinct geographic 'elbow' of the West African coast near the town of Harper.
San Pédro Port
A clear view of Ivory Coast's second-largest port and the active shipping lanes in the Gulf of Guinea.
Cavalla River Mouth
The natural border between Liberia and Ivory Coast as it empties into the Atlantic Ocean.
Grand-Lahou
The unique sight of a historical town nestled on a thin strip of land between the lagoon and the sea.
Vridi Canal
The man-made channel connecting the Atlantic Ocean to the Port of Abidjan seen just before landing.
The right side is ideal for coastal photography. You will track the shoreline for almost the entire duration of the flight. Watch for the distinct color change where the Sassandra river deposits sediment into the blue Atlantic. For the best lighting, afternoon flights are preferred to avoid the morning sun glare off the ocean surface.

Liberian Lowlands
View the vast, dense tropical rainforests of Liberia shortly after takeoff from ROB.
Tai National Park
A bird's-eye view of one of the last major primary rainforests in West Africa located across the Ivorian border.
Ébrié Lagoon
The sprawling, intricate waterway network surrounding Abidjan during the final descent.
Yopougon Suburb
The dense urban layout of Abidjan's most populous district as the plane aligns for the runway.
Rubber Plantations
Expansive, organized grids of commercial rubber and palm oil estates visible throughout the flight.
Sit here for better views of the inland lagoons and the urban sprawl of Abidjan during the final approach. Morning flights offer softer light over the rainforest canopy, making the deep greens pop without harsh shadows. This side is also better for seeing the inland river systems that feed the coastal lagoons.
