Namibia Affordable Fly-In, 13 nights

Our Affordable Fly-In itinerary makes use of FlyNamibia’s exciting safari circuit. Guests pay for a seat on scheduled flights, rather than having to pay for a private charter. Flying between lodges allows travellers to cover a lot of ground in a relatively short time, and this spectacular safari covers Sossusvlei, a marine cruise in Swakopmund, Twyfelfontein World Heritage site, five nights of exceptional wildlife viewing opportunities in two private reserves located on the border of Etosha National Park, and a unique ‘Dream Cruiser’ sleepout in the Onguma Reserve.

Day 1

You will be met in the arrivals hall of Windhoek Hosea Kutako Airport by one of our chauffeur drivers who will transfer you into town in an ATI luxury vehicle. After taking some time to shower, relax (and maybe have a quick nap), one of our representatives will meet you at your guest house or hotel around 4pm. If you’re landing late in the day, your briefing will be around 8am the following morning. Our representative will offer a thorough briefing of your whole holiday and go through your marked road map, vouchers, and itinerary with you. We’re also on hand to book a restaurant for tonight, should we not have already done so.

Day 2 – 4

One of our chauffeur drivers will collect you this morning and transfer you back to the airport in time to connect with your 10h00 flight. Your pilot will escort you to the domestic terminal and through security to your light aircraft. Your flight will be shared with other passengers. Enjoy a beautiful flight over Namibia’s central plateau and the Naukluft Mountains, before landing near the Namib Naukluft National Park close to Sesriem & Sossusvlei. Enjoy three nights here taking part in activities including a guided trip to Sossusvlei, nature drives, guided walks, or quad biking. You may also like to take a unique hot air balloon trip for an additional fee.

Day 5

Climb aboard a plane again today for your 11h20 flight to the coast, hopefully viewing some of the unique desolate Skeleton Coast landscape from the air. You will be transferred to The Strand Hotel from Swakopmund Airfield and enjoy an afternoon exploring the town, maybe enjoying an ice cream or coffee at one of the many cafes. We also love the aquarium which has a walk-through viewing tunnel and daily feeding  in the large tank at 15h00. Other attractions include the snake park, a brilliantly informative way to learn about Namibia’s reptiles, and the ‘Kristall Galerie’ which houses one of the world’s largest quartz crystals. And at the end of a busy day, we recommend champagne and oysters on the deck of The Jetty restaurant to watch the sunset.

Day 6

Today you will be collected from the hotel and transferred to Walvis Bay for a half-day (approx. 5 hours) catamaran cruise with a beach BBQ on the beautiful Pelican Point Peninsula. Your activity starts from the Walvis Bay Waterfront and you can look forward to seeing an abundance of bird and mammal life, with sightings of pelicans and seals up close. Delight in the fresh sea air, followed by great food on the beach, with fresh oysters and bubbly. After lunch, you will take a short boat cruise back to the Waterfront and then a transfer back to Swakopmund.
