Scenic flights
Five ways to see a country that looks best from the air.
Every flight departs from Swakopmund Airport and carries a maximum of five passengers. Rates below are per person and drop the fuller the aircraft — the flight price is the same whether two of you fly or five, so it pays to bring friends. Private charter and fly-in safari transfers are quoted on request.
01
Namib Desert Scenic
1 hour · Southbound coastal
The short flight with the biggest payoff. South past Walvis Bay International and over the Kuiseb River — the dry bed that divides the dune sea from the rest of Namibia — turning at the wreck of the Shawnee, stranded here in 1976. Home past Sandwich Harbour, a Ramsar wetland that holds upwards of 70,000 birds, many of them migrants from the northern hemisphere.

02
Skeleton Coast Scenic
1h 30m · Dunes, wrecks & wetland
East over the Moon Landscape and along the Swakop and Khan rivers, then south across the shifting dunes to reach the coast at Conception Bay — Cape fur seal colonies, the Eduard Bohlen aground since 1909 and now 250m inland, and the Shawnee. North again with the Atlantic surge on one side and the Long Wall of Namib dunes on the other, past Sandwich Harbour and the salt pans into Walvis Bay.

03
Sossusvlei Scenic
2h 15m · The full circuit
The one people come to Namibia for. Low-level over the Kuiseb Canyon and Tsondabvlei — the only known breeding ground of the lappet-faced vulture in southern Namibia — to the highest shifting dunes on earth at Sossusvlei. Out across the Diamond Restricted Area, where three abandoned mining camps still stand, then home up the coast past the wrecks, Sandwich Harbour and Walvis Bay.

04
Cape Cross Scenic
2h 15m · Northbound
North over the Moon Landscape and the Rössing uranium mine, past the granite Spitzkoppe rising 700 metres off the desert floor and the Brandberg, Namibia's highest mountain. Down the Ugab riverbed hunting for desert elephant, oryx and ostrich, then out to a coast littered with whalebone and shipwreck. Cape Cross holds Africa's largest Cape fur seal colony — an estimated 250,000 — and the stone cross Diego Cão raised in 1486. Home past Henties Bay and the Zeila, wrecked in 2008.

05
Swakopmund ⇄ Sossusvlei Transfer
1h 30m · Pick-up & drop-off
Skip six hours of gravel road. A scenic transfer between Swakopmund and the Sossusvlei lodges that doubles as a flight in its own right — over the Diamond Restricted Area and its old mining camps, Conception Bay's seal colonies and shipwrecks, the Long Wall, Sandwich Harbour and the Walvis Bay salt pans.
