Worldwide Photographic Journeys

Namibia from the Air

30th October 2019

Of all the places where Wild Images visits, it is perhaps Namibia that is our most favourite destination for aerial photography.  Recently Wild Images principal Inger Vandyke returned from Namibia with some very special views of this remarkable country – from the air.

Using a combination of drone, light aeroplane and a doorless helicopter flying over the desert, here are some of her favourite shots from the trip.
