The Namibia Flying Safari Experience

Your Desert Safari Era

There aren't very many places in the world where you can travel across the country in a private airplane, sip bubbles at sunset in a vast desert, head out on a desert safari drive and sleep in luxurious tents to unwind and refresh after a long day in nature. Join us on our 7-day luxury adventure in Namibia and experience a desert safari, unlike anything you've ever dreamed of. You can't call yourself a bougie explorer until you have lived and experienced the beauty of the dunes in Western Africa.

Where You'll Stay

Kwessi Dunes

Kwessi Dunes

Nestled among the ancient dunes of the NamibRand Nature Reserve, Kwessi Dunes offers an otherworldly glamping experience where luxury meets raw desert beauty. Each spacious canvas unit features floor-to-ceiling windows and optional star beds for sleeping under the Milky Way—one of the clearest night skies on Earth.

Hoanib Valley Camp

Hoanib Valley Camp

Perched in the remote Hoanib Valley, this intimate camp offers front-row seats to one of Africa's most dramatic wildlife spectacles—desert-adapted elephants and lions roaming freely through ancient riverbeds. The camp's eco-conscious design blends seamlessly with the stark beauty of Kaokoland.

Shipwreck Lodge

Shipwreck Lodge

An architectural marvel on the legendary Skeleton Coast, Shipwreck Lodge's cabins are designed to evoke the wooden ships that once ran aground on this treacherous shoreline. Wake to the sound of crashing waves, explore seal colonies, and witness where the desert dramatically meets the Atlantic Ocean.

The legendary Skeleton Coast awaits. Your scenic drive delivers jaw-dropping moments at every turn—giraffes, baboons, and hyenas appear like apparitions among the dunes. Then suddenly, the desert surrenders to the Atlantic Ocean in the most dramatic fashion imaginable. Check into your award-winning lodge (shipwreck-inspired, naturally) and visit the seal colony where hundreds of these charismatic creatures bask by the bay. Ready for a thrill? Quad bike through the dunes as the sun sets—pure adrenaline, pure magic.

Your final full day deserves to be extraordinary. Picture this: a beach picnic with bubbles in hand, the wild Atlantic stretching before you, and not a single care in the world. Cool off with an ocean dip because you've earned it. Tonight, gather for a sumptuous farewell dinner—the kind where new friends become forever friends and stories from the week flow as freely as the wine. Still hungry for adventure? One last quad bike ride through the dunes calls your name.

Then board your private plane for a final scenic flight along the stunning coast, taking in every last vista before touching down at the airport. This flying safari? Hands down the most elevated way to experience Namibia's vast desert beauty. You came, you soared, you conquered.
