Description

Soar over the Skeleton Coast and Namib Desert on a scenic flight from Swakopmund. Admire the changing colors of the dunes, see the shipwreck of the “Shawnee,” and fly over Sandwich Harbour.
Take to the skies and soar over the stunning landscapes of Namibia on a scenic flight. Fly along the dune belt to Dune 7, past Walvis Bay International Airport, and cross the dry Kuiseb River en route to the southern Skeleton Coast.

Be mesmerized by the changing dune faces and colors in yellow, ochre, mustard, and magenta. Upon reaching the coast, catch a bird’s eye view of the “Shawnee,” a shipwreck near the “long wall.”

Wedged between the Namib Desert and the Atlantic Ocean, lies a unique coastal wetland, Sandwich Harbour – a bird’s paradise. Next up are the picturesque Walvis Bay salt pans, lagoon, and harbor area on your way back to Swakopmund.
