Route Description

 

This spectacular flight takes round about 1 hour and 30 minutes in a Cessna 210 aircraft which has seats for 5 passengers. 

 

We take off from Swakopmund and head in a Southern Direction, flying right over Walvis Bay International Airport.

We stay over the dunes for the first leg all the way to the. Diamond Camps

 

The Diamond Camps has been left abondond from the very early 1900's and which has been halfway disintegrated through the years' strong winds and sand blasting.

 

Next we fly coastwise past the Eduard Bohlen Shipwreck 1909 and the Shaunee Shipwreck 1976, which really gives character and meaning to the 'Skeleton Coast'. 

We also pass the Long-Wall where a very long dune belt with dunes around 300 feet high flows into the sea. 

 

Be sure to look out for flamingos and pelicans as we pass Sandwich Harbor and Pelican Point because those two places are the perfect paradise for the birdlife.

 

We then pass Swakopmund coastwise, if weather permits it, and we come in for the landing.
