Day 1 Windhoek Arrival in Windhoek and transfer to your hotel. The rest of the day is free to relax or start exploring the Namibian capital. In the evening, enjoy a traditional Namibian dinner and discover this vibrant city with its unique charm, a blend of African and German influences. Accommodation at The Olive Exclusive or similar.

Days 2–3 Sossusvlei/Namib Desert Your flying safari begins in Windhoek, where you meet your pilot, who will fly you by light aircraft to the spectacular dunes of the NamibRand Nature Reserve. As you approach the region, you fly over the iconic blood-red dunes that seem to go on for ever, true natural wonders stretching as far as the eye can see. You spend two nights at Kwessi Dunes, a magnificent lodge in the heart of the NamibRand, offering a true haven of peace far from the modern world and a close connection with the wilderness. The second day is devoted to exploring the magical NamibRand desert and the Sossusvlei area. Whether you choose to take part in the activities on offer or simply soak up the beauty of the place, this day will stay etched in your memory. In the evening, don't miss one of the clearest starry skies in the world, a perfect moment for stargazing in a timeless atmosphere. Accommodation at Kwessi Dunes or similar.

Days 4–5 Swakopmund This morning you continue your adventure towards the Atlantic coast to reach the charming seaside town of Swakopmund. Renowned for its well-preserved German colonial architecture and its unique landscapes where desert meets ocean, the town offers a striking contrast. On a scenic flight you admire from above the impressive wreck of the Eduard Bohlen, Conception Bay and the protected area of Sandwich Harbour. The next day you board a catamaran for a cruise in Walvis Bay to discover the coast from the water and appreciate the rich local marine life. With a little luck, you may see dolphins, fur seals and other marine animals in their natural habitat. Accommodation at the Strand Hotel or similar.

Days 6–7 Damaraland/Hoanib Valley You then continue your adventure to the Hoanib Valley, where the vast, striking expanses of north-western Namibia await. This remote region is renowned for its desert elephants, an emblematic species perfectly adapted to the extreme conditions of their environment. In the afternoon you set off on a 4x4 safari in search of these elusive giants. You will also have the chance to see giraffes, oryx, lions and other species typical of desert wildlife. Explore the arid landscapes on a safari through dry riverbeds, or meet the local Himba community for an authentic cultural experience. Accommodation in this region is among the most exclusive in Namibia, as the Hoanib Valley is very isolated and therefore difficult to reach – a true luxury for lovers of unspoilt nature. Accommodation at Hoanib Valley Camp or similar.

Days 8–9 Etosha National Park For the last two nights of your stay, you head to a private reserve bordering the famous Etosha National Park, one of Africa's most renowned wildlife sanctuaries. This protected area promises unspoilt landscapes, absolute tranquillity and exclusive safari experiences. Here you can see lions, cheetahs and a wide variety of endemic desert species, among others. The region is particularly renowned for its high concentration of black and white rhinos, a unique chance to see them in their natural habitat. The following day you set off on a full-day safari in Etosha National Park in search of the iconic wildlife of the Namibian savannah. Accommodation at Etosha Oberland Lodge or similar.

Day 10 Windhoek This morning you board your light aircraft for a final scenic flight to Windhoek. Your Namibian flying safari ends here, after moments of relaxation and unforgettable adventures. End of the trip or individual extension.
