Namibia trip for private pilots and passengers – fly yourself over Etosha, Damaraland and Sossusvlei
Twelve days, one Cessna — from Etosha via the Skeleton Coast to the dunes of Sossusvlei.
You validate your European EASA license locally in Windhoek into a Namibian license, take the controls of a Cessna 182 yourself, and fly from lodge to lodge — an Etosha safari, Damaraland rock engravings, the Skeleton Coast and the dunes of Sossusvlei included. Anyone without a pilot's license flies as a passenger alongside an experienced pilot.

Can I book a VIP lounge with direct access to the aircraft?
Yes. We book you a VIP lounge from which you're escorted directly to the aircraft, relaxed and without waiting.
How do I check in online for my flight?
For trips with a scheduled flight, you can usually check in via the airline's website or app. On request, we can handle online check-in for you and send your boarding pass via WhatsApp — where this is technically possible for the respective airline and route.
Can I add a Rail&Fly ticket?
For trips with a scheduled flight, this is possible, usually for an additional charge, unless the airline already includes it.
How much luggage am I allowed to bring?
This varies by airline and fare. We'll let you know the exact free baggage allowance along with your trip offer.
What happens if flight times change?
We inform you immediately by email as soon as we're notified of a change.
PAYMENT & PROTECTION
How much is the deposit?
As a rule, the deposit is 20% of the trip price. For peak-season dates it may be higher; this will be stated in the respective offer. For non-refundable special-fare flight tickets, the deposit may also be higher, as the ticket must be paid in full immediately.
When is the balance due?
As a rule, 30 days before departure. We'll point out any deviations already at the time of booking.
How do I pay for my trip?
Payment is conveniently made by bank transfer.
Is my trip protected by a tour operator insolvency insurance (ATOL licence)?
Yes. As a German tour operator we are legally obliged to protect your trip with a tour operator insolvency insurance (ATOL licence). Fly Unique has a contract with the R+V Versicherung. You will receive your insurance certificate automatically with your booking confirmation.
Do you recommend a travel cancellation insurance?
We generally recommend travel cancellation insurance and are happy to advise you on suitable options.
Are rebookings or cancellations possible?
Yes. The exact terms and costs are set out in our General Terms and Conditions and can of course be requested from us at any time.

What travel documents do I need?
This varies depending on the destination and nationality. We provide comprehensive information on the required documents and, if needed, also assist with obtaining visas.
FOR PILOTS
I'd like to fly myself — what do I need?
Send us a copy of your pilot's license. We'll then support you with the license revalidation and inform you about all the documents required for it.
Which aircraft is right for my trip?
We're happy to advise you on the choice — whether for flying yourself, joining as a passenger, or a trip by private plane or private jet.
Do you assist with route planning and permits for pilot trips?

Can we bring our children?
We're happy to book child-friendly hotels suited to your trip with children.
I'm pregnant — can I still travel?
In principle, traveling is possible with an uncomplicated pregnancy up to week 34/35; the second trimester (weeks 14 to 28) is considered ideal. The exact rules vary by airline: many require a medical certificate of fitness to fly from week 28 onward, and most airlines decline to carry passengers from week 36 onward. Feel free to reach out — we'll check individually for your airline and route how your desired trip can be arranged.
