Early in the morning you fly over the Namib Desert Zelda's Guest Farm in the Kalahari. Zelda's Guest Farm is home to the NARO Bushman. You will receive information to prepare you for your visit to the Bushman Community. You will then walk to the Bushmen settlement. Spend the morning learning about the ancient traditions of the earliest inhabitants in Namibia. The Bushmen are great storytellers, and love music, mimicry and dance. The simplest instrument is the hunters bow, spanned with animal hair and equipped with an empty melon or tin can as a sound box. Learn more about their hunting techniques and tracking skills. Return to the lodge for lunch, after which we continue our flight via the Naukluft Mountains over the highest shifting sand dunes in the world at Sossusvlei. From Sossusvlei we fly into the Diamond Restricted Area, flying over the remains of three old diamond camps. From the diamond camps we head to the coast at Conception Bay where the wreck of the passenger liner, EDUARD BOHLEN lies. Stranded in 1909, she now lies 250m away from the shore. From Conception Bay we fly along the coast passing colonies of Cape Fur seals and another shipwreck, the SHAUNEE stranded in 1976. From the SHAUNEE we fly over Sandwich Bay at 1500 feet so as not to disturb the flamingo colony. The highest recorded density of Lesser- and Greater flamingos was recorded at low tide with 7,791birds/km. Further flight, past Walvis Bay salt works, the lagoon with its varied bird life and Walvis Bay Harbour, the hub of Namibia's fast-growing fishing industry. We return via the Dolphin Park Recreation Resort and Langstrand Holiday Resort back to Swakopmund.
