Low-level flight along the Swakop riverbed via the “Moonlandscape” crossing the Oasis Goanikontes. Routing northeast to the Rössing Uranium mine along the Khan River. We continue our flight over the Spitzkoppe, the Brandberg.
  Further flight along the Ugab Riverbed in search for the desert elephants, rhino’s, giraffes, mountain zebras and other game up to the rivermouth area, turning southbound. Flight along the treacherous Skeleton Coast. The park in the northern Namib Desert stretches from the Ugab River in the south to the Kunene River, which forms the northern border with Angola. This region is generally cold and windy with mist in the mornings and evenings. The Skeleton Coast is littered with whalebones, shipwrecks and remains of sailors and explorers. Flight continues past Cape Cross seal reserve. During the November/December breeding season as many as 200 000 seals gather at Cape Cross.
It was also here that the Portuguese navigator, Diego Cao, erected a stone cross in 1486. Continue flight coastwise from Cape Cross passing Henties Bay, the saltworks north of Swakopmund on our way to Swakopmund.
