Scenic Flights
 
 

Scenic flights are a popular activity at Wolwedans. Commencing during the late afternoon, and giving you a birds-eye view of the Diamond Coast and Sossusvlei this is a truly exhilarating and once-in-a-lifetime experience.

If you stay for two nights you can choose between Route A or B. For guest staying three nights or longer, Route C (which is a full day fly-in safari) provides a wonderful opportunity to visit some of Namibia’s attractions in the far South.

Scenic flights are offered by our sister company Nature Wings.
