Fly-In safaris in Namibia are among the most popular things to do in this under-appreciated African country, which is situated between the Atlantic coast and the Kalahari Desert. With one of the world’s lowest population densities, an epic, uninhabited environment with expansive horizons and unpolluted skies generates a sensation of freedom.
The Namib Desert, which stretches along the western coast of the country and is both the oldest and one of the biggest deserts on Earth, is a prominent feature of the country’s landscape. Many rivers once flowed across the desert on their way down from the Central Plateau, but today, the majority of these rivers either run dry year-round or only during the summer when it rains.
The massive, ever-flowing rivers of the Zambezi, the Kuene, and the Kavango form the northern boundaries of Namibia with Botswana, Zambia, and Angola, respectively. Several little national parks in this region are home to abundant wildlife and birdlife, and the area is lush and green with thick forests for the most of the year. Scrubby wilderness extending from the upper Central Plateau into the Kalahari desert in the east makes up the remainder of the country.
We have compiled a comprehensive guide on everything you need to prepare for your Fly-in Namibia Holiday Packages.
Namibia is a beautiful country full of fascinating natural attractions, and a fly-in safari is the perfect way to see them all in one unforgettable vacation. Imagine an incredible itinerary that takes you through prolific game reserves, bird-filled wetlands, and the magnificent red dunes of Sossusvlei. Not only that, but your safari journey will be further enhanced by the eerie desert ghost towns and untamed, shipwreck-strewn coastline that Namibia is famous for.
Sossusvlei in the Namib Desert is home to enormous dunes that transform the area’s scenery as the sun goes down and the sky becomes darker. Visitors to Etosha National Park can expect to see the legendary big cats, elusive black rhinos, and enormous elephants. In this rough terrain, you’ll find the seaside gem of Swakopmund, which offers adrenaline-pumping activities, desert safaris, and oceanic expeditions while radiating Bavarian charm.
Go on an adventure to Damaraland and see desert elephants, black rhinos, and big cats in their natural habitat. The northern, rocky coast of the Skeleton Coast beckons with seal populations, crashing surf, and eerie shipwrecks—all of which provide excellent photo opportunity. Visit Kaokoland, the most remote part of Namibia, and you will be able to experience the traditional way of life of the Himba people and their vibrant culture.
Stunning dunes, untamed mountains, and otherworldly lunar landscapes abound in Namibia, making it a photographer’s paradise. In addition to its breathtaking landscapes, Namibia is home to some of Africa’s most diverse and fascinating species, such as the continent’s biggest concentrations of cheetahs and black rhinos. Attesting to this, Etosha Park is home to both desert and savannah animals that congregate around peaceful waterholes.
With its modern infrastructure and ample lodging alternatives, Namibia is easy to navigate. Your choice of luxurious accommodations, whether it be a small, personal honeymoon retreat, a large safari lodge, or a boutique hotel, is assured to be of the highest quality.
Welcoming and safe for families, couples, and solitary adventurers alike, this country offers an extensive variety of activities, from adrenaline-pumping Swakopmund excursions to relaxing tours of its expansive landscapes.
By connecting with its neighbouring countries through frequent flights, Namibia makes it easy to enjoy the best of Southern Africa, including renowned locations like Cape Town, Victoria Falls, and the Okavango Delta. Get on a plane to Namibia with MoAfrika Tours and prepare for a trip of a lifetime filled with breathtaking landscapes and unique adventures.
The key to a relaxing and enjoyable fly-in safari vacation to Namibia, complete with breathtaking vistas and exciting animal encounters, is to bring the correct kit.
Start with clothes that are light and airy, as temperatures can change throughout the day. Make sure they are appropriate for both hot days and cooler nights. Wearing long-sleeved shirts and trousers will keep you protected from the sun and insects. For bush trips and wildlife drives, make sure to have sturdy, comfortable walking shoes.
To further protect yourself from the scorching African sun, remember to bring along a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. The mesmerising fauna and stunning environment can only be captured with binoculars and an extra-battery-powered camera. Remember to bring your personal toiletries, bug repellent, and any drugs your healthcare practitioner may have prescribed, especially any anti-malarial prophylactics.
The ability to stay connected and record memories is greatly enhanced by electronic devices. Be sure to bring all of your electronic devices, including a charger for your phone, camera, and any necessary adapters to plug into the electrical outlets in Namibia. You can charge your devices on the fly with a portable power bank. Also, think about packing a small, watertight rucksack to hold all of your necessities on outdoor adventures.
Travelling internationally necessitates the proper documentation. You must possess a passport that is valid for a minimum of six months beyond the date of your scheduled travel. Verify that you will need a visa to enter Namibia, and have all of your travel documentation, such as your plane tickets and hotel reservations, in one place and easy to find. For stays of up to 90 days, citizens of the majority of these countries—the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa—do not need a visa to enter Namibia. To learn more about the Namibian visa requirements for passport holders of other nationalities, see Project Visa.
Finally, it’s a good idea to bring along some basic medical supplies in case of an emergency. This includes things like sticky bandages, antiseptic wipes, pain killers, and medication to prevent diarrhoea. It is important to contact with your healthcare practitioner before travelling and have a sufficient supply of prescription medications on hand if you have any specific medical issues.
Other Namibia Safari Packages:
Among Namibia’s most impressive tourist spots is Sossusvlei, which is located in Namib-Naukluft National Park in the middle of the Namib Desert. Red sand dunes and salt flats make this stunning environment a photographer’s paradise. It is a breathtakingly beautiful view, made even more so by the stark contrast between the limitless blue sky, the white salt pans, and the blazing orange-red colours of the desert.
When you visit Sossusvlei, the best time to see its beauty is first thing in the morning, when the sun’s gentle rays illuminate the dunes and bring forth their vibrant hues. At dusk, many tourists make the ascent to the top of Dune 45, a lofty dune that provides breathtaking views of the sunrise. Camping inside the park gives you early entry, so you can see this natural wonder at your leisure.
Another must-visit site is Deadvlei, a bizarre landscape that seems like something out of a painting. The unearthly allure of this white clay pan is heightened by the presence of fossilised trees and the surrounding towering dunes. Although the sandy terrain requires appropriate footwear, climbing one of the dunes affords breathtaking views of the pan and its surrounds.
For those looking for a handy park-side campsite, Sesriem Campsite is a great alternative, as it allows for early morning excursions before the gates open. Just 900 metres from the main gate, Sossus Oasis Campsite offers great facilities for a reasonable price. Just three km from the entrance, Desert Quiver Camp provides chic bungalows for individuals in need of a little more opulence.
The famous Kolmanskop Ghost Town is a fascinating Namibian destination that is located 13 kilometres outside of Luderitz. Kolmanskop was a prosperous German settlement that thrived for 40 years after diamonds were discovered in 1908. However, its collapse was caused by the easy accessibility of diamond deposits elsewhere. After becoming a ghost town in 1956, the village was turned into a museum in the open air in 1980.
A guided tour is the greatest way to see Kolmanskop since the guide can tell you all about the town’s interesting past while showing you the butcher shop, the gym, and the private houses. Relics of the town’s illustrious past, such as the first X-ray machine in the area and other innovative conveniences, are on display.
Luderitz and its environs provide additional exploration opportunities beyond Kolmanskop. Famous wild horses near Aus can be seen ranging freely in the desert terrain with gemsboks and other native antelope species. Luderitz is a place of natural beauty and fascinating history that can provide an unforgettable experience to those who are ready to explore.
A magnificent cluster of granite mountains tucked away in the Namib Desert, Spitzkoppe is situated 150 kilometres east of Swakopmund. Its highest point is an astounding 700 metres, earning it the nickname “the Matterhorn of Namibia” for its dominant position in the area. Surreal settings for a variety of activities are provided by the landscape’s smooth granite formations, which are decorated with arches and tunnels.
You can enjoy the sunset from rocky hills or boulders that serve as natural viewing spots at Spitzkoppe, which is one of the most captivating sensations. In addition to seeing the sunset, this breathtaking landscape is perfect for hiking, rock climbing, astronomy, and birdwatching. Day tours from Swakopmund can take you to Spitzkoppe, a place of breathtaking natural beauty.
On the other hand, Spitzkoppe camping provides an unforgettable adventure. With towering boulders and distinctive mountain formations as your company, the desert’s immensity offers isolation as campsites are properly spaced apart. Although the facilities are quite minimal, according to the spirit of “wild camping,” the chance to be surrounded by the peace and untamed beauty of the desert is unmatched.
With its vast 20,000 square kilometres, Etosha National Park provides an unmatched safari experience, making it an essential stop on any Namibian expedition. Nature lovers will find heaven in this expansive wilderness, which is home to an incredible variety of animals.
The residents of Etosha are defined by diversity; the plains are home to a fascinating array of birds and mammals. Although four of the renowned African Big Five—elephants, rhinos, lions, and leopards—have been spotted in the park, the buffalo is conspicuously missing. Still, there are lots of other animals and predators that add to the spectacle, including zebras, giraffes, wildebeests, and antelopes of all kinds. Seeing wildlife is almost certain given the presence of more than 114 different mammal species, especially during the dry season (May–October) when animals gather around waterholes.
From November through April, during Etosha’s rainy season, 340 different bird species, including migratory birds, converge on the park, creating a breathtaking avian spectacle for birdwatchers.
It is suggested to spend at least two days exploring Etosha to truly appreciate its natural beauty, but staying longer would offer more fulfilling adventures. Whether you’re mesmerised by the majestic eagles or the power of the elephants, Etosha National Park guarantees unique experiences of the wild beauty of Africa.
