Our specialist says:

A unique opportunity to escape the crowds and dust of the road and fly to some of Namibia's most beautiful and secluded spots

Enjoy the very essence of what Namibia is about on this luxury Namibia flying safari by heading deep in to its mesmerising deserts and taking part in some truly unique experiences.

Spend the first night of your trip in a beautiful boutique hotel overlooking Windhoek before taking to the skies the following morning with a flight down to Sossusvlei. Explore this stunning land of towering red dunes, shimmering salt pans and keep an eye out for the surprisingly abundant desert wildlife. From there you will fly deep in to the barren deserts of Damaraland, home to a large population of desert rhino which you will be able to track on foot – a truly incredible experience. Flying deeper in to the desert you will spend a few days in the Hoanib River valley which is the access point to the breathtaking Skeleton Coast, one of the most iconic parts of Namibia. Continuing the adventure you will fly north to the banks of the Kunene River which marks the border between Namibia and Angola. Explore the river and the surrounding dunes, home to shimmering oases, varied wildlife and the nomadic Himba people.

Fly back to Windhoek for an overnight stay in the city’s best hotel before flying home the following day.
