The Best of Namibia Wing Safari  (7 Days)

Guests on this fly-in safari experience the highlights of Namibia - Sossusvlei the Namib; the Skeleton Coast; Swakopmund; Damaraland and Etosha. Every Sunday (and Thursday from July to October) we fly from Windhoek International Airport or Eros Airport in Windhoek on our 'Best of Namibia Wing Safari'.

The aircraft and pilot stay with the group throughout so there is continuity and flexibility. All meals, park fees and activities are included.

Group size is normally around four guests - but we reserve the right to go for a maximum of ten.

Sunday and Monday: Sossusvlei

Depart Eros Airport (Windhoek) by light aircraft for Sossusvlei Wilderness Camp, approximately an hour's flight away.  We will be departing in the late morning, at a time best suited to the guests and their incoming flights.

Activities are conducted in 4x4 vehicles and include a safari down to the very end of the Tsauchab River and to the heart of Sossusvlei. for wonderful dune scenes. Optional ballooning can be arranged at extra cost. (To be booked in advance).

Tuesday and Wednesday: Swakopmund and Damaraland

We depart by light aircraft and fly over the dunes of the Namib and Sossusvlei to gain a different perspective of the area from the air. We continue westwards to Meob Bay on the Atlantic Ocean and then fly up the Skeleton Coast.

The flight offers spectacular desert and Skeleton Coast scenery, where dunes and desert meet the Atlantic Ocean.

Our flight takes us over the site of the Eduard Bolen shipwreck, past Conception Bay and the wreck site of the Shaunee, over Sandwich Harbor and it's famous lagoon, the flamingoes at Walvis Bay and on to Swakopmund.

Here we are met and transferred into town for a crayfish lunch. In the afternoon we depart from Swakopmund, for a scenic flight further up the Skeleton Coast, and over the Cape Cross seal Colony before we turn east and fly up the Huab River to Damaraland Camp for two nights.

Highlights of the stay at Damaraland Camp are the nature excursions into the rocky desert in search of the rare and endangered Desert Elephant and Black Rhino. We are in an area where the chances of encountering the Desert Elephants are high.

Fly by light aircraft from Damaraland to Ongava for two nights. Highlights are the game drives into Etosha and the night drives, walks and hides on the private reserve.

Ongava Lodge is situated along the southern boundary of Etosha National Park in the privately owned Ongava Game Reserve.
