LANDING AT A MILLION YEAR OLD CRATER IN NAMIBIA

Part of our Namibia flying trip takes us to Uis, Messum Crater and our final destination - Swakopmund.

All flying was done in my Rotax 915 powered KFA Safari taildragger bush plane. The perfect vehicle to tour such an impeccable destination. There is nothing quite like a birds eye view in Namibia.

Upon approaching Uis, it was evident that we were now truly in the desert. Surrounded by sand dunes, high winds and high temperatures, we had arrived.

Earlier that morning we had made provision on our route to visit one of the oldest volcanic calderas in the world, dating back to the splitting of the continents at Gondwana. The incredible sights of the Messum Crater is something so difficult to portray on film but hopefully this video encourages you to visit it. From the desolation, to the ability of plants being able to grow in such an environment, the sights were truly awe inspiring.

After a brief stop in Messum, we were on our way to Swakopmund. An incredibly pretty town on the West Coast of Namibia. With huge amount of German and European influence, this destination is a major tourism hotspot. The area has many B&B's, hotels and activities for tourists. We managed to go on a tour through the dunes surrounding Swakopmund which was amazing! Highly recommended.

Thanks to those that are following along with the series. See you next week as we make our way to Solitaire & Sossusvlei.

and a HUGE THANK YOU, once again to the companies that helped make this trip possible. Please see their links below.
