Namibia is one of the most unique countries in Africa. From lush coastlines with Palm trees fading into the distance to rolling red sand dunes of the Namib Desert where creatures inhabit and survive in outrageous circumstances.
Guests opting for a Helicopter Tour of the Sossusvlei can expect a personal guided journey from well-experienced pilots that will guide you through the majestic scenery on an adventurous and informative flight. Sossusvlei Lodge offers guests a range of scenic flights over the breath-taking grass plains to the towering dunes of Sossusvlei and the hidden mysteries of Deadvlei.
Exciting flips over the Sesriem Canyon, Dune 45 and Elim Dune as well as custom built flights for photographers that wish to focus on specific areas of the Namib are also on offer.
Due to the Namib Desert temperatures, this activity is offered in the mornings only. Guests are collected at Sossusvlei Lodge half an hour before sunrise. The balloon rises as the sun rises.
The first light hour of the day is known to be the most spectacular, especially in the Namib Desert with the rich contrast of colour and shape on the towering sand dunes of the Sossusvlei Area, on the vast desert plains and surrounding mountain ranges.
As you sail silently over the Namib Desert for an hour you can expect an exclusive Champagne Breakfast at the landing area, where you can engage with nature on an intimate level. This activity ends with a spectacular Nature Drive back to the lodge and is perfectly optimised to add a splash of romance to your trip at Sossusvlei Lodge.
