The plan was to fly along the dry rivers of Namibia.
This included:
- The Messum River from the Messum Crater to Brandberg
- Goanatagab & Ugab from Brandberg to the Doros Crater
- Huab from Twyfelfontein to the sea
- Hoanib & Ganamub from Sesfontein to skedelkus
- Hoarusib rom the sea via Puros Canyon to Sesfontein
- Through the Caprivi Strip to Botswana.
- From Katima Mulilo via Chobe, Savuti , Moremi & Maun, to Nata
- After that towards Orapa over the Sau pan, Kubu island & Makgadikgadi pans
With round about 45 hours of flying, 17 gyros and 18 people through Namibia and Botswana the logistics was a very big challenge. Everything went smoothly thanks to the group leader and tour organiser Roelf Palm’s great planning, knowledge and expanded touring experience.
We expected a dry Namibia but experience an extremely wet Namibia. Most of the rivers had water in them and at places we experienced some rain.
