Tourist flights in Namibia
Hi ladies and gents.
I'll be flying end of july to Namibia for vacation with my family and would like to try a tourist flight out of Swakopmund.
Any suggestion about the company to choose?
I'll take with me my pilot licence but (due to lack of time) I'll prefer to rent a plane with a local safety pilot.
Thank you ML
p.s. great job the 210 pilot

Está servira para distraerle.
You might have to take a flight instructor and call the detail a practice dual cross country. Some times there's a fine line between a scenic flip and a charter flight which might require the operator to have a charter licence.

No one is gonna let you fly there as you need to validate or convert your licence to fly a local registered a/c. I don't assume to find any with JAR country registrations which your licence is good for. Such validation, assuming Namibia has almost same requirements as SA, does not pay of for just one or a few flights.

FWIW, I hold a Namibian license (now expired) based on my JAR one. While not too onerous, the validation is not worth the hassle and money for a couple of local sightseeing flights.
If, however, you intend to embark on a longer flying 'safari', then it's definitely worth it. I've flown in quite a few parts of the world, but nothing matches flying in Nam
