I must admit, I was a bit nervous during take-off seeing as though it was my first time in a Cessna 210, but I was over it in an instance and felt really at ease with the competence of the pilot. It helped tremendously that he was so kind and friendly. The moment I opened my eyes, my breath was taken away by the most beautiful views for as far as my eyes could see. I sat in awe and thought to myself that I wished I could have shared this moment with my loved ones and soon realized that I could not look away for one second and miss mother nature's beauty all around me. The different shades of colors of the dunes, the mystery of the "dead valley" as well as the majestic Long Wall will remain implanted in my memory forever.

But I would still say it's a must do in Swakopmund, at least to sign up the short flight trip. Reservation in advance is recommended, we did it around 2...
