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

This exceptional flying safari offers a seamless way to explore Namibia’s most remote and spectacular regions. Travelling by light aircraft, you’ll fly over vast, untouched landscapes, from dune seas and gravel plains to mountain ranges and river valleys - staying in some of the country’s most exclusive and beautifully located lodges.

Beginning in Windhoek, the journey takes you south to the iconic red dunes of Sossusvlei, then north to the dramatic terrain of Damaraland for desert rhino tracking. From there, continue to the wild expanses of the Hoanib Valley and Skeleton Coast before finishing in the lush, otherworldly Kunene region on the Angolan border. Along the way, you’ll encounter desert-adapted elephants, ancient rock art, sweeping desert vistas, and timeless Himba culture.

Perfect for seasoned safari-goers and first-time visitors alike, this is an extraordinary way to see Namibia’s contrasts without compromising on time or comfort. Ideal for couples or small groups looking to combine adventure with luxury, access with exclusivity.

Ruth, Senior Africa Specialist, says, “This is hands-down one of the most spectacular ways to experience Namibia. You cover huge distances effortlessly, and the scenery from the air is just incredible. Each lodge is a destination in itself, and the guiding is outstanding. It’s a trip that captures the scale and soul of the country.”


Trip Itinerary

Day 1 Windhoek awaits

Staying at The Olive Exclusive

Arrive in Windhoek around midday, where you’ll be met on arrival and transferred into the city for an overnight stay at the beautifully designed Olive Exclusive. Set on a hillside with sweeping views across Windhoek, this boutique hotel offers the perfect place to unwind after your flight. Spacious suites, private plunge pools, and one of the city’s best restaurants on site make it an ideal starting point for your Namibian adventure. Spend the afternoon at leisure, soaking in the views and settling into the relaxed rhythm of the journey ahead.

Day 2 Flying to Sossusvlei

Staying at Little Kulala

Enjoy breakfast on the terrace before being transferred to the small Eros airport in the heart of Windhoek for your light aircraft flight down to Sossusvlei, one of the most iconic parts of Namibia. As you fly enjoy a birds' eye view of the seemingly endless deserts, interspersed with rugged hillsides, river valleys and vast tracts of farmland. From the airstrip you will be transferred to the gorgeous Little Kulala where you will be spending the next 2 nights.
