Description

Fly from Swakopmund in a private Cessna 210 over the Namib dunes, shipwrecks of the Skeleton Coast or the red dunes of Sossusvlei and Deadvlei. The whole aircraft is for your group of up to 5.
See the Namib Desert from the air on a private sightseeing flight in a Cessna 210 (5 passenger seats). You meet your pilot at Swakopmund Airport, get a short safety briefing and walk to the aircraft.

Once airborne, the pilot flies a route over the Namib dune sea, Sandwich Harbour, the Kuiseb River canyon and, depending on the option, the shipwrecks and seal colonies of the Skeleton Coast or the red dunes of Sossusvlei and Deadvlei, adjusted on the day for weather and air-traffic control. The whole aircraft is booked for your group only, up to 5 passengers, and everyone gets a window seat. Headsets let you talk to the pilot and ask about what you see below.

Bring your phone or camera: the windows give great angles for photos and video. After landing there is time for photos with the aircraft.

Flights are operated by a licensed local air operator. Flying depends on the weather: if the flight is cancelled for weather or safety reasons, you choose a new date or get a full refund.
