Thanks for the kind words everyone!

Yes, they still offer the air scenic flights. We did the "Flight of the Fish Eagle" which was great. Low level flights over the surrounding bush, then over to the St. Lucia Wetlands where you see hippos in the lakes. Then it's a hair-raising pass just over the tops of the dunes along the coast for an eye-popping view of the azure coastline.

It really was the most amazing trip I've ever taken. Even more incredible are the pictures. The shots in the desert in Namibia, as well as of the animals on the safari, really blew me away--and trust me, I'm not the world's best photographer! If someone could suggest a way to upload pix like I've seen others do in other trip reports, I'll be happy to share...
