Which side of the plane to sit from Takoradi Airport (Takoradi) to Kotoka International Airport (Accra)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a stunning panorama of the Gulf of Guinea coastline, featuring historical UNESCO World Heritage sites and pristine beaches.
Elmina Castle
A clear view of the historic St. George's Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site standing on the shore.
Cape Coast Castle
Another prominent white-washed colonial fort situated directly on the rocky coastline.
Gulf of Guinea
The vast, deep blue expanse of the Atlantic Ocean stretching to the horizon.
Winneba Coastline
Beautiful stretches of sandy beaches and the distinctive Muni-Pomadze Lagoon area.
James Town Lighthouse
As you approach Accra, look for the iconic red and white lighthouse near the old harbor.
The Right Side is significantly more scenic due to the historic forts and the dramatic meeting of land and sea. For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the white walls of the castles and the turquoise coastal waters.
Coastal Rainforests
Views of the lush tropical vegetation and secondary forests of the Central Region.
Kasoa Urban Sprawl
The rapidly expanding residential areas on the western outskirts of the Greater Accra Region.
Densu Delta
The Ramsar site and wetland area providing a crucial habitat for migratory birds near the city.
Accra Cityscape
A sprawling view of the capital city's dense residential and commercial neighborhoods.
Choose the left side if you are interested in the geographic transition from rural coastal plains to the dense urban grid of Accra. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for inland landscape photography without solar glare.
