NSI

When landing at Yaoundé Nsimalen International Airport (NSI), sit on the Left side for the best views. Yaoundé Nsimalen typically handles approaches from the southwest, meaning you'll descend over the Sanaga River valley and surrounding forested terrain. The left side offers better views of the river system and the city's sprawling layout as you line up with the runway. Right side faces mostly dense rainforest with fewer distinctive features. Notable sights include: Sanaga River (major river system visible in middle distance), Yaoundé city sprawl (foreground as you descend), surrounding equatorial forest canopy, occasional clearings and settlements in the valley.
