Skeleton Coast Safari - Flying Safari

Meet at Eros Airport, Windhoek at 10h00 for departure to the Skeleton Coast via Conception Bay. The Kuiseb canyon and adjoining red dunes are a spectacular view from the air. The flight includes an aerial view of the famous Eduard Bohlen shipwreck at Conception Bay. After landing and refuelling at Swakopmund, the trip continues with a low-level flight north along the Skeleton Coast past the seal colony at Cape Cross for a light picnic lunch near the beach. After lunch, the flight crosses the desert to the Ugab formations, a ‘moon landscape' of black ridges which are in stark contrast to the white desert floor. From there it on to Kuidas Camp in the Huab River Valley where ancient rock engravings are within walking distance.
Overnight: Kuidas Camp

After breakfast depart by Land Rover to explore the colourful red lava and yellow sandstone of the Huab River environs. Learn all about the ecological aspects of this area with its wide diversity of flora and fauna. This includes the Welwitschia Mirabilis, a tree that has been dwarfed by the rigours of the encroaching desert climate. Lunch will be served at Kuidas camp before flying along the coast to Terrace Bay in the Skeleton Coast Park. Once arrived at the coast, the tour continues by Land Rover, to the “roaring dunes” – this always proves to be a stimulating experience. Walk along the beach with its profusion of multi-coloured pebbles consisting of agate, lava, granite and quartz. Interesting to see are old bleached whale bones scattered along the beach above the high tide mark. Return to the aircraft and continue north to Purros Camp in the Hoarusib Valley in the Kunene Region.
Overnight: Purros Camp

After breakfast embark on a scenic drive along the Hoarusib Valley to visit a settlement of the nomadic Himba people. Frequenting this area are the desert-dwelling elephant. From there, the aircraft flies north along the Skeleton Coast to the Kunene River, and the Angolan border. The Kaiu Maru shipwreck and pieces from old sailing vessels lie scattered along this part of the coast. From the airfield, there is a scenic drive by Land Rover to a favourite lunch site. After lunch the journey continues through the mountains and dunes of the Hartmann Valley - which extends to the Kunene River - reaching Kunene River Camp in the late afternoon.
Overnight: Kunene River Camp

An early morning boat trip on the Kunene River as it flows through scenic desert landscape, observing bird life and possibly some crocodiles. Birds vary from aquatic species on the perennial waters, to endemic desert varieties and those that inhabit dense riverine vegetation. After lunch at the camp, fly back to Eros Airport, Windhoek, arriving in the late afternoon.
