Namibia Wing Safari
To observe Namibia from the air is an awe-inspiring experience: the vast expanses of moving, rippling sands, the great blue skies and grey of the ocean extending to the horizon. This safari explores four distinct regions: the sands and red dunes of Sossusvlei; the icy, life-filled coasts at Swakopmund and Walvis Bay; the stark plains of Damaraland, with their desert-adapted elephants; and the amazing wildlife abundance on the savannah of Etosha.
Departures operate every Sunday all year-round.

The early morning flight takes guests over the Namib and Sossusvlei then due west to Meob Bay on the Skeleton Coast. Fly up the coast and land at Swakopmund Airport where you are transferred to Walvis Bay Harbour for a boat trip (weather permitting) with an opportunity to view seals and usually schools of dolphins swimming alongside the boat. Return to Walvis Bay Harbour for a delicious seafood lunch. In the afternoon take a scenic flight further up the Skeleton Coast, to the Huab River Valley and Damaraland Camp for two nights.
Situated on the northern face of the Huab River valley and looking south toward the imposing Brandberg Mountains, Damaraland Camp offers its guests endless vistas. This comfortable and friendly camp offers walks and drives in one of the best wilderness areas in Namibia. Although wildlife is not concentrated, the camp is situated where the rare desert-adapted elephant roams, alongside gemsbok (oryx), springbok, ostrich and other hardy desert animals.
