Exclusive Namibia – Fly-In Safari

Welcome to Namibia! At Windhoek international airport, you are warmly greeted by a driver and taken to The Weinberg Hotel for your first night.

The rest of the day is free at your leisure – relax or explore the city's sights on your own or on a guided tour (optional). Highlights such as Christuskirche and the Tintenpalast (the parliament building) are definitely worth a visit.

In the evening, you are free to choose from the many restaurants in the city (at your own expense).

After a relaxed breakfast, you are taken back to the airport and fly from there by light aircraft into the fascinating Namib Desert. After landing, you transfer to Namib Outpost, your accommodation for the next two nights.

Enjoy the peace of the desert, let your gaze wander over the endless dune landscapes and go on a sundowner drive in the afternoon.

The next day, an extensive excursion into the Namib Desert awaits you with a visit to the famous Sossusvlei and Dead Vlei – a real highlight of your Namibia fly-in safari.

On the way back to the lodge, you also stop at Sesriem Canyon before returning to the lodge in the early afternoon. Put your feet up and relax in dreamlike surroundings.

Today a spectacular flight along the seas of dunes awaits you, over Kuiseb Canyon and parts of Namib-Naukluft National Park to the rugged Atlantic coast. After your arrival in Swakopmund, you transfer to your accommodation, where you spend two nights.

Shape the next day entirely as you wish – take a stroll through town or join one of the many activities in the area, such as a boat trip to watch seals and dolphins or the fascinating “Living Desert” tour.

Enjoy the view of the sea, listen to the rushing of the waves and breathe in the fresh sea air.

You stay overnight at the charming Fancy Fritz.

Today you leave the coast again and fly over the interior towards Damaraland. During the flight, you pass Spitzkoppe, more than 700 million years old, as well as Namibia's highest peak, Königstein in the Brandberg massif.

After landing in the Twyfelfontein region, you can first relax and enjoy the view of the impressive surroundings. Mowani Mountain Camp nestles harmoniously between massive ochre-coloured boulders and almost merges with the ancient landscape – a place full of history.

The next morning, you set off on a game drive in search of the rare desert elephants that wander along dry riverbeds. In the afternoon, the rock engravings of Twyfelfontein, Burnt Mountain and the Organ Pipes are on the programme – testimony to a history thousands of years old.

This morning begins with a last look across the impressive landscape of Damaraland. Then your Namibia fly-in safari takes you towards the north-east of the country – close to the famous Etosha National Park.

After arrival, you transfer to Onguma Tented Camp, from where you go on a sundowner drive in the private Onguma Reserve in the afternoon. The day ends with a cosy dinner.

The next morning, you set off early on a game drive in an open off-road vehicle through Etosha National Park.

The waterholes in the park offer the best opportunities for wildlife viewing – elephants, rhinos, giraffes and numerous antelope species are regularly seen here. With a little luck, you may also spot lions, cheetahs or even leopards.

After many exciting sightings, you return to the lodge, enjoy a relaxed lunch and can rest a little before heading out on another game drive in the afternoon.

Transfer by light aircraft

Depending on your departure time, you have the opportunity to take part in one more morning safari activity.

Then you transfer to the airstrip for your return flight to Windhoek, where your Namibia fly-in safari ends.

You reach the international airport between 4 and 5 pm – in good time for your evening onward flight or journey home.

We hope you take away unforgettable impressions and say: goodbye – or better yet: until next time!
