We had a 7 day vacation in Namibia that required 3 flights with Scenic Air. This is a great way to get to different places quickly (2 passenger Cessna). It is safe, clean, and professional. The flights were on time and we had great pilots. Fantastic views from the air that you wouldn't get from the ground. I never have landed on bush runways before - real fun. Great experience. I highly recommend Scenic Air.

We had a 12 day trip in Namibia, arranged by AndBeyond. We were booked on 6 private charter flights with Scenic Air. This is the best way to travel the whole country within a few days. We had a cozy Cessna 210 for the two of us. All the pilots are very professional and experienced. We were private pilots so we had a great time chatting about flying. We spent our last 5 days with Matthew, who is very diligent with planing our flight safely. He is very pleasant company and we enjoyed talking to him about traveling the world. He is very knowledgeable and he is the best at spotting interesting sites on our route. We even saw a family of elephants from the plane!

Scenic Air took me on a flight from Enos to Andbeyond Sossusvlei and back to Winkhoek. They were awesome. The flights were easy and timely. I rode on a small Cessna. I felt very safe and the views at the lower altitude were amazing. The pilots Luwayne and Camlo were the best! They were very kind, friendly and a pleasure to ride with. They pointed out cool mountains and geography as we flew. Everything was top notch and I hope to come back to Namibia soon!

With a limited amount of time you can take the most out of your journey to discover the treasures of Namibia by flying over the beautiful desert and the amazing coast line. The welcome at Scenic Air was very friendly and our Pilot was real passionate. It was an amazing experience

In order to see much more from Namibia, we chartered a small plane for 5 people.
Started from Swakopmund going to wolvendans en taking us back to Windhoek.
Brand new plane were we felt very save especially with a well trained pilot Raymond who was all the time with us.
He knows the places very well and explained during the flights all the landmarks that we passed.
We really recommend Scenic air to discover Namibia and take Raymond as your pilot. Many thanks ! On behalf of the Vonk-Jans family.

We had the BEST experience with Scenic Air. We had a last minute planned trip to Namibia and only 5 days to so Safari, see the dunes and go to the waterfront. After a lot of research it seemed the only way to do it was by air. WHAT a great decision. It was so worth the cost. No long car rides, but instead scenic gorgeous views from overhead. VERY professional pilot and felt very safe, despite the small plane. ON the way there, I had a stomach flu and everyone at scenic air could not have been nicer. The booking and the arrangements with the front officer were also very very easy. Cannot recommend this option enough.

Our agent suggested we leave our hire car in Swakopmund and fly to Sossusvlei and then back to Windhoek. This was good advice as we had already done a lot of driving. Our first flight was scenic from Swakopmund to Sossusvlei with another couple. the pilot gave us a good briefing and two options for routing given the fog on the coast. We agreed on the inland route and he delayed take off so we could get the best of the weather. Great fund and a great way to see the desert and salt flats. It was a 90 minute flight as opposed to a 5 or 6 hour drive.
We then were flown back from Sossusvlei to Windhoek and were the only passengers. this was at a higher altitude but still great views and a fantastic way to finish our holiday. Both pilots were friendly and informative an pointed out sights on the way.
No idea what this cost as it was all wrapped up in the overall holiday cost. Do I care; No.

We came to Namibia to visit the south (Kalahari, Fish River, Sossusvlei and Swakopmund) and choose to make it a ‘fly in’ trip. It was a great experience, very relaxing, exciting from the moment we started. We had some great pilots flying us: Matt and especially Graham. Everything was always 200% more than okay 👌Thank you! Ine and Hilde

Dear Ine and Hilde! As they say Travel is the only thing you can buy that makes you richer. And to have added to your adventures by being able to have a flying Safari and all the spectacular views in the South was a wise choice! Thanks for sharing your experiences with us, i will be sure to pass on your positive feedback to Graham and Matt! Until next Time, Where the North Adventures await..... :)

Booked this with high expectations given the potential - and the cost. Were picked up at our lodging for our flight and shuttled to main office in Swakopmund. Busy time with various groups coming and going and we were 'processed', provided a quick briefing and then, after a bit, shuttled to the airport amid the chaos. No big deal as this is part of the travel experience. The flight was in the aircraft expected which provided a decent view - but the whole flight was at such a high altitude, despite the briefing, that it didn't give a unique view. Flying over Sossuvlei and the coastal shipwrecks were so high and brief were kind of pointless.

A different perspective but not worth the cost and the service. Everyone involved was polite and professional it just didn't deliver as advertised. We saw other planes at lower altitude and it seemed we were just being pushed through the itinerary. The ground based drives provide much more value, information and insight into the region.

@Ranjan r Firstly i would like to thank you for taking the time to advise of your recent experience with us at scenic Air. It is only through feedback such as yours that we are able to maintain and indeed where necessary , improve upon the service that we provide to our valued guests. We were saddened to hear of your view on the Scenic Flight and I personally looked into your concerns you highlighted.. In peak season as you mentioned the hustle and bustle is part of the travel experience. It was an extremely busy day with subsequent back to back flights that the team was trying to please all. Of which we did receive some good feedback and some shared photographs. Unfortunately we have little control over some circumstances such as the weather or the whereabouts of our wildlife, as you understand, However we can control the time we take with guests even on hectic days, with the pilot for questions etc. and not being rushed. We have been working on some Customer care and communication tools courses the team has been involved in this year and hoe to constantly improve. The pilot explained it was a turbulent flight this flying a bit higher over Sossusvlei to avoid any passengers from feeling to Queasy. I would like to highlight for note that we firmly stick to the rules and regulations clearly stated by law and don’t distress the birdlife at the Sandwich Harbor sanctuary; flying at the required levels. Scenic Air prides itself on the product we offer, the service we give as well as the dedication of the Pilots, Charter Coordinators and the whole team to ensure the guests have a unique and memorable experience in whatever way we Can. We strive to continuously grow and adapt from all feedback. Thank you again for the time you took to write in. Kind Regards Shanna
