Namibian Fly-in Safari

Welcome to Namibia. Upon your arrival in Windhoek, your English-speaking tour guide will be waiting for you at the airport. Relax, as this is the start of your fly-in safari through this beautiful and diverse country.

Together with your guide you will undertake a short city tour in Windhoek. Walk through Windhoek, visit the famous Tintenpalast, Christ Church and the old fortress.

Around 14h00 you will be transferred to your accommodation and the rest of the afternoon is at your leisure.

After breakfast and transfer to Eros Airport in Windhoek, your fly-in safari starts here through Namibia.

Today you will meet your pilot who will accompany you on your fly-in safari. You will fly about 90 minutes towards the coast over breathtaking landscapes into the large Namib Rand Nature Reserve.

After landing in Sossusvlei, you’ll be transferred to the camp.

Today it’s time to get up early and go by jeep on a discovery tour to the impressive rust-red dunes. Here you will find “Dune 45”, one of the highest sand dunes in the world. The tour continues to the “Dead Vlei”, a clay pan surrounded by dunes.

After the visit to Sossusvlei you will drive to Sesriem Canyon. The Tsauchab is a river that is about 100km long and is especially famous for the part where it flows through the Sesriem Canyon.

Around noon you will drive back to the lodge and in the late afternoon you can enjoy a sundowner drive on the Kulala Reserve.

At night the starry sky sparkles and you marvel at the Milky Way, as you have never seen it before.

If you want, the ballooning safari starts very early in the morning: You have the option to float in a hot air balloon over the red dunes of Sossusvlei. You can book this unique experience additionally with us at any time. I will be happy to advise you on this.

During mid morning you will fly on to Swakopmund. Today’s flight takes you along the Atlantic coast and the route is one of the most worth while seeing in Namibia. As you descend, you will fly over abandoned diamond mines and once you reach the coast, you will spot numerous seal colonies and shipwrecks along the beach.

After landing at the airstrip in Swakopmund, transfer to your hotel at the Mole.

The entire day is at your leisure or optionally you can take a catamaran tour on the Walvis Bay Lagoon or optionally join a Living Desert Tour.

Catamaran Tour:
Spend half a day on this scenic catamaran cruise, where seals sometimes greet you on the boat. While keeping an eye out for pelicans, dolphins and seals, enjoy fresh Walvis Bay oysters and a glass of bubbly.

Living Desert Tour.
Spend half a day in the oldest desert in the world, the Namib Desert. On this tour, special care is taken not to damage the Eco-system. Follow the tracks of desert chameleons and snakes burrowing in the sand. Geckos, rolling spiders, scorpions, lizards and a variety of beetles and insects are some of the creatures that call the Namib Desert their home.

After breakfast, transfer back to Swakopmund airstrip and fly inland past the Brandberg. This is the highest mountain in Namibia, with an altitude of 2578m. You will land in Damaraland, home of the famous desert elephants.

The afternoon is at leisure. From the camp, there are very nice walks / hikes that can be done in the afternoon. You can also combine these with a “sundowner” for example!

Together with a ranger, today you will travel in an off-road vehicle through the vast landscape, on the trail of the rare desert elephant, whose sighting will undoubtedly be a highlight of your trip.

While you roam the area in search of the famous pachyderms, you can also look forward to encounters with zebras, hyenas, oryx, springboks, giraffes, rhinos and lions.

After breakfast, today you will fly from Damaraland to the Skeleton Coast.

On the way from Möwe Bay to the lodge you will see what remains of the victims of this treacherous coast: decaying ships, the remains of a Ventura bomber and the abandoned Westies diamond mine testify to the ruthlessness of this arid landscape. You will also visit the seal colony and in the afternoon you will arrive at Shipwreck Lodge.

Along the river… Spend your day exploring the Hoarusib River. Visit the clay castles, an impressive geological formation. You may even see the elusive desert-adapted elephants, brown hyenas and lions.

Lunch by the sea …
Weather permitting, enjoy a delicious lunch on the vast, empty beach. Feel the fresh sea breeze caress your hair and ponder the meaning of life as the sea washes over the pristine sand in its endless ebb and flow.

After a hearty breakfast, you will fly towards Etosha National Park and the adjacent Onguma Game Reserve.

A short transfer in an off-road vehicle will take you to Onguma The Fort. Upon arrival at the lodge, a delicious lunch already awaits you.

In the late afternoon, you will embark on an afternoon sundowner nature drive in the Onguma Reserve, where the experienced rangers will explain the many intricacies of the bush. The reserve boasts over 30 different species of wildlife. Plains game moves freely in the reserve, and predators, while not always easy to spot, are common residents of the region. Lions and cheetahs are frequently seen and often heard.
There is a healthy population of black rhino and leopard, and hyenas are also often seen and heard. All of this can be spotted during the sundowner drives.

Early in the morning you will go on a game drive into Etosha National Park, accompanied by experienced rangers who share their valuable knowledge of the area and its inhabitants.

In the open jeep you will enjoy a spectacular 360 degree view. You will have the opportunity to see some 114 species of mammals that make their home in Etosha. These include the black-faced impala and the endangered black and white rhinos, buffalo, giraffe, springbok baboons and many more.

The afternoon is entirely at leisure to fully enjoy your last night in Namibia.

Unfortunately, today it is time to say goodbye to Namibia.

In the morning you will fly back to Eros Airport in Windhoek. After landing at the airport, you will say goodbye to your pilot and transfer to Windhoek International Airport for your flight back to Germany.
