Description of the Flight

We depart from Swakopmund Airfield and head due South. We pass Walvis Bay International Airport, and cross the Kuiseb River, which is a dry riverbed, separating most of the Namib Desert dunes from the rest of the outstretched desert.

Our first point of interest is the Shawnee Shipwreck, a fishing vessel that stranded on the coast in 1976. The Shawnee is our turnaround point as we head north.

Next up is Sandwich Harbour, a world famous location known for its abundant birdlife. In 1995, the Walvis Bay lagoon and the Sandwich Harbour wetlands were declared a RAMSAR site and are now classified as “Wetlands of International Importance”.

The area hosts upwards of 70 000 birds, many of which migrate seasonally from the northern hemisphere. Passing over Walvis Bay Harbour we head further North towards our end point, Swakopmund.
