FLY-IN SAFARIS IN NAMIBIA

Namibia is the most sparsely populated country south of the Sahara, as the land is extremely dry. Its rugged, sandy landscapes are unique and a favourite subject for photographers. Yet wildlife lovers will also get their fill on a safari in Namibia – in Etosha National Park, in Damaraland or in the Caprivi Strip.

Namibia is best known for its impressive landscapes and unique natural world. The red dunes of Sossusvlei, the depths of the Fish River Canyon, the mighty Epupa Falls, the wildlife-rich Etosha Pan, the shimmering red-gold Kalahari Desert and the endless savannahs: all these highlights make a safari in Namibia an extraordinary experience.

Namibia, also known as the ‘land of contrasts’, is a wonderfully varied destination on the African continent. The distances between Namibia’s towns and sights are considerable, and the many gravel roads mean this is not a country to be explored in a hurry – so bring plenty of time and a relaxed frame of mind.

Safari in Namibia
Most people picture a safari as a jeep ride through a nature reserve – also known as a game drive. Many animals can be observed at very close range, which is a fascinating experience. But it is not just by car: on foot or by boat, too, a safari in Namibia becomes something truly special.

Walking safari in Namibia – up close and personal
On a walking safari you experience nature in a particularly intense and immediate way. With an experienced guide you follow the tracks of the animals and take in every sound and impression at close quarters. The special thrill: unlike in a safari jeep, you meet the wild animals at eye level.

Boat safari in Namibia – close to the water
A boat safari focuses mainly on aquatic wildlife and the native species along the riverbanks. In a dugout canoe (mokoro) or a motorboat, you get especially close to this slightly lesser-known side of the animal kingdom.

Fly-in safari in Namibia – fascination from the air
On the one hand, a fly-in safari is a one-of-a-kind safari in a hot-air balloon or light aircraft with breathtaking views from above. On the other, it is a way of travelling through Namibia. A fly-in safari in Namibia lasting several days is utterly fascinating, as even the flight between the various lodges and camps is an experience in itself. From the air you see the most varied landscapes and reach remote regions with ease. Only from above do you truly grasp the vastness of this colourful country – and the sight of a herd of elephants, the giants looking tiny from up there, is simply unforgettable!
