Flying adventures in namibia
Apart from giving visitors the best possible view of the country with its many colourful geological features, flying in Namibia provides an exhilarating experience to anyone with a sense of adventure. You will soar over extensive dune seas, glide past the setting sun and race over crashing waves. Within hours, aircraft passengers may see hundreds of elephants cross the rivers in the Caprivi, gasp at the sheer size and beauty of the pan as they fly over Etosha and land at the coast in time to watch the sun set over the sea. Flying provides access, adventure and is amazingly available to tourists.
In the past decade, the demand for scheduled and charter flights within Namibia and to destinations in the Southern African region has grown dramatically. New aviation enterprises have been established, existing companies have been expanded with satellite offices in new locations and there has been a proliferation of aircraft. Namibia is a country geared towards aviation. Not only does it have top-class flight schools and aviation engineers; almost every guest farm and lodge in the country has its own landing strip. There are more than 300 known airfields in Namibia.
Most of the passengers on scenic flights in Namibia are from Germany, Italy, the United States and the United Kingdom. A few hours of freedom in the air allows them to see Namibia from a new perspective and adds to the list of adventure stories they can recount on their return home.
From excursions to the harbour town of Lüderitz, flights over the huge sand sea, up the Skeleton Coast and over the large seal colony at Cape Cross to Epupa Falls on the Kunene River, home of the Himba people, there is something for everyone.
Whether they have undertaken a fly-in safari to various locations or simply an hour’s excursion, tourists who have enjoyed the rush and the pleasure of seeing Namibia from the air often remark that it was the highlight of their trip. It gave them the chance to ‘see the jewels in Namibia’s crown’ and was an experience that often moved them to tears.
The majority of fly-in operators agree that the most popular scenic flights are to Sossusvlei, famous for its magnificent star-shaped red and orange dunes, and day trips to authentic Himba villages in the north-western part of Namibia.
The following companies offers personalised fly-in safaris in Namibia:
During the course of a Skeleton Coast Fly-in Safaris trip, guests experience fascinating bird's-eye views of shipwreck remains along the coast, diverse and ever-changing geological formations and the refuges of desert-dwelling animals such as the endangered black rhino and desert-adapted elephant. A few of the highlights on a Skeleton Coast Safari are, a desolate coastline with adjoining roaring dunes, the Ugab rock formations, colourful red lava and yellow sandstone of the Huab environs, ancient Bushman rock engravings, the living ‘fossil’ tree, Welwitschia mirabilis, a visit to a settlement of the nomadic Himba people and panoramic vistas of the Hartmann Valley, which extends to the Kunene River on the Angolan border.
Ovahimba day trips, the Skeleton Coast, a Bushmen experience, Sossusvlei, the Fish River Canyon and excursions to Lüderitz are some of the options to choose from when you fly with Wings Over Africa. In addition to providing tailor-made trips and scenic flights for the tourism industry, Wings Over Africa also provides a fast and reliable service for the business industry. The company offers fly-in safaris and private air charters in Namibia, Angola, Zambia, Botswana and Zimbabwe.
Desert Air offers excursions to view aspects of Namibia that range from the mysterious beauty of ancient desert landscapes that stretch into infinity and the lush, green wilderness teeming with wildlife to exotic cultures and interesting people and extraordinary plant and animal life. Mystifying treasures that lie untouched on its unforgiving coastline, some of which are only visible from the air, can also be included in the itinerary.
Sefofane Air Charters operates from Namibia, South Africa, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The main destinations that Sefofane services in Namibia are Sossusvlei, Swakopmund, Damaraland, the Skeleton Coast, Etosha and the Kunene River, representing some of the finest wilderness areas Namibia has to offer. The base for operations is in Windhoek and from here all reservations are captured and aircraft scheduled. Unlike scheduled airlines, charter flights can be set at times that suit the client. Busy airports can be avoided and lesser-known airports, which are more en route, can be used. For clients wishing to visit a combination of remote areas in a short space of time with minimal time spent in transit, air charter offers a good alternative
