Il programma nel dettaglio

Departing from Swakopmund we fly over sunlit sand dunes which roll and undulate, are beautiful in a way that is not of this world. Add to the sand sea a low level flight along the green Kuiseb riverbed to the Kuiseb Canyon.

Sossusvlei is a dune wonderland, with towering dunes up to 300m high surrounding a huge, dried-up pan. Dunes extend as far as the eye can see and their rich tints vary from pale apricot to vivid reds and oranges. During a good rainy season the Tsauchab River flows into the pan creating a haven for water birds. Even during the dry season, oryx, springbok and ostriches can be seen feeding off the sparse vegetation along the water course.

We then continue over the Diamond Restricted area to Conception Bay, listen carefully – each wave will whisper a different story of shipwrecks Eduard Bohlen and Shaunee that rust away on the shoreline, Long Wall and Sandwich Harbour. Further along the coast we return to fly over the colourful Walvis Bay Salt Works and back to Swakopmund. Flight duration: approximately 2.2 hrs.

Enjoy a flight with stunning views over the dry Kuiseb riverbed, Kuiseb Canyon, a dune wonderland and the colourful Walvis Bay Salt Works.
