Namibia - the land of great thirst. Flying the contour of the longest river in Southern Africa, the Orange River, ends in the dramatic vistas of the Fish River Canyon. It is hard to imagine that animals can survive in this arid land, but an aerial view of the life-saving water holes in Sossusvlei and Etosha National Park will offer a rare glimpse of Namibia's scattered wildlife. This scarred land is filled with geological phenomena whose majesty can only truly be appreciated from the sky.
