Taking place at sunrise or sunset, this is a perfect chance to gain an unfettered view of the crescent and star dunes of Sossusvlei while the light is soft and the shadows are long. We offer a one hour scenic flight in a helicopter with no doors over Sossusvlei where we search for beautiful Oryx on the dunes and other wildlife. One of the highlights of visiting the astonishing sand sea of Sossusvlei in the Namib Naukluft National Park is actually seeing this incredible landscape from the air.

Kgalagadi is also a haven for birdwatchers, especially those interested in bird of prey photography. Red sand dunes, sparse vegetation and the dry riverbeds of the Nossob and Auob show antelope and predator species off to spectacular advantage and provide excellent photographic opportunities. An amalgamation of the Kalahari Gemsbok National Park in South Africa (proclaimed in 1931) and the Gemsbok National Park in Botswana, the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park comprises an area of over 3.6 million hectares вЂ“ one of very few wildlife conservation areas of this magnitude left in the world. This is the Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park. This is a place where the red dunes and scrub fade into infinity and herds of gemsbok, springbok, eland and blue wildebeest follow the seasons, where imposing camel thorn trees provide shade for huge black-maned lions and vantage points for leopard and many raptors. The reasonably regular rainfall patterns that occur every year allow for a very wide variety of wildlife, including large numbers of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and insects, and also a rich plant life to thrive. Rather than the stunning red dune landscapes of the Namib Desert, the Namibian and South African parts of the Kalahari Desert are covered with trees, ephemeral rivers and fossil watercourses. Spanning a vast corner of south eastern Namibia, north western South Africa and Botswana, the Kalahari is not a true desert as it receives too much rain. Our photography journey through Namibia will really commence after we recross the frontier from South Africa into Namibia after visiting the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. Namibian landscape photography is in a class of its own! Comprising mostly of desert, the vast dune systems of the Namib Naukluft National Park sweep their way into the shifting sands of NamibiaвЂ™s Skeleton Coast, a stretch of coastline that is cooled by the Benguela current, which, when it clashes with the desert heat, creates coastal fog that supports entire ecosystems. It is also home to some of AfricaвЂ™s most visually spectacular landscapes. Namibia is the second most sparsely populated country on earth after Mongolia. Namibia offers such a rich feast of landscapes, peoples and wildlife that it is not surprising that Namibia photography tours are now considered some of the finest in Africa.
