“A unique week of wildlife watching from above and on the ground in Namibia. Light aircraft transfers make short shrift of distances as you're transported between game drives and small luxury camps in private concessions.”

Highlights

Description of Namibia fly in safari

This wonderful week in Namibia is all about experiencing the giant dunes, rugged landscapes and wildlife abundant national parks from above.

Alongside light aircraft transfer flights you’ll also be invited to undertake guided game drives in Sossusvlei, Damaraland and Etosha National Park which will no doubt add to the unique aerial perspective.

Although you’ll only be in Namibia for a week there’s still plenty of time to really get to grips with the country’s stunning landscapes and natural inhabitants. Small luxury safari camps in private concessions immediately place you in authentic Africa, whilst air transfers help you to see more of the country both from on high and down on the ground.

Opportunities to experience Namibia at night are just as plentiful as in the day with some of the best star-gazing opportunities on earth as well as floodlit watering holes so you can still see animals, after dark.

If you’re ready for wide open spaces where uniquely biodiverse landscapes morph and twist from sand to salt to mountains then this flying safari in Namibia is certain to take you to new heights.

Responsible tourism

As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we screen every trip so you can travel knowing your holiday will help support conservation and local people.

Admission fees to the Big Cat rehabilitation project ensures that the valuable work undertaken by the charitable foundation is supported. The foundation has rehabilitated over 80% of cats back into the wild since its work began. Our visits to the rock art sites in Damaraland are lead by local guides, and fees paid for our tours are reinvested directly back into the local community. We stay at eco-friendly, locally owned and managed lodges which have been built using local materials and which blend into their environments. We recommend eco-friendly activities for optional activities, use local guides in rural areas and aim to minimise our impact on all the destinations we visit.

Our guide on this trip is local, his wildlife spotting skills and knowledge of the flora and fauna will make for an informative and exciting experience. His knowledge of local cultures will provide a valuable insight when passing through different tribal areas, and guests will be fully briefed about local customs and traditions before visiting local villages.

Kulala Desert Lodge is powered by a hybrid system, combining solar energy and a diesel-powered generator. Thanks to the solar energy the generator only needs to operate for eight hours a day as opposed to 24 hours. In addition, each guest tent has its own small solar geyser that provides hot water.

The Impacts of this Trip

We use accommodation that is small and locally owned, ensuring that the costs are retained in the local economy. We travel in small groups of up to 8 people, to avoid overwhelming local communities and to give our guests an overall better experience. Small group travel means we can get off the beaten track and use small lodges and guesthouses that tend to be more homely and personable.

Our local ground handler is particularly supportive of local conservation projects, and the company has its own trust, funded by a percentage of its revenue. The aim of the trust is to give tangible assistance to African people and their environment in their efforts to achieve economic viability without doing harm to natural habitats and wildlife, thus utilizing both on a sustainable basis for the benefit and enjoyment of future generations.

We have forged a link with the Child Hope Initiatives Project in Windhoek, which provides basic numeracy and literacy teaching programme to 50 orphans. Guests are invited to bring items to donate to the project such as stationery, basic English books, toys and deflated footballs or other sports equipment. We are a wholly online company, and do not produce paper brochures.

When Wilderness began operating on the reserve, a massive programme to remove internal fences and livestock was undertaken and the recovering health of the ecosystem brought the wildlife back. Then, the fence that divided the Kulala Wilderness Reserve (KWR) and the Namib Rand Nature Reserve was dropped, and while those between KWR and the adjacent Namib-Naukluft National Park remain, they are no impediment to the movement of wildlife.
