YOUR BIRD’S-EYE VIEW
OF AFRICA’S WILDLIFE

The charter flights featured on Wings Over East Africa serve as a
distinctive type of safari experience in and of themselves, in particular
your flight to the Masai Mara Game Reserve, which affords sights of the
region’s incredible wildlife and gorgeous landscapes that simply can’t
be duplicated from ground level.

The Mara is home to one of the world’s most impressive concentrations
of wildlife, and your pilot-guides, skilled in low-level flying, give you
the opportunity for a closer look at it than you’ve most likely ever
experienced by air. You may catch glimpses of a giraffe stretching up
to nibble a tree branch, an elephant cooling itself in the shallows of a
muddy watering hole or a pink swath of countless flamingoes wading at
the edge of a sparkling lake.

Your pilot-guides’ entertaining commentary lends insights into the
habits of the animals roaming below you, from a majestically loping herd
of zebras to a galloping wave of wildebeests.

And it’s then you realize that time-saving convenience is far from the
only advantage of a Wings Over the World journey. The stunning aerial
perspectives on Africa, which you never would have experienced on a
traditional overland safari, are moments you’ll cherish forever.

THE STARK BEAUTY OF
SOSSUSVLEI, NAMIBIA

Namibia’s Sossusvlei is a salt-and-clay pan, or dried-up lake bed, found
among the spectacular red-sand dunes of the Namib Desert, which
stretches for 1,200 miles along southern Africa’s Atlantic coast. This
region’s vistas of austere, almost otherworldly beauty offer a unique
counterpoint to the lush forests experienced elsewhere throughout
southern Africa on this journey.

The pale color of the pan, punctuated by gnarled black tree trunks,
contrasts vividly with the Mars-like red of the dunes surrounding it,
prompting the feeling you’ve been magically transported to another
planet. “Fairy circles” — naturally occurring, ring-like depressions in
the earth that dot the landscape — only add to Sossusvlei’s uncanny
sense of place.

Nighttime offers its contrasts as well, with daytime desert temperatures
cooling significantly after sunset. And since Sossusvlei is part of a dark-
sky reserve, a marvelous display of astronomical wonders awaits anyone
willing to brave the chill. Let a resident astronomer guide take you on a
tour by telescope of the southern constellations.

Far off the beaten path, Sossusvlei is usually a stand-alone destination,
yet A&K is able to include it as part of a broader portrait of southern
Africa, thanks to privately chartered air.

VARANASI ’S RICH
SPIRITUAL HERITAGE

India is a land of many faiths and the spiritual side of life is well
represented in the cultures and architecture of its cities, with
Varanasi often considered the greatest among them.

Varanasi is built upon the Ganges River; its waters revered as
holy by Hindus. Along the river’s banks, stairways leading down
into the water, called ghats, offer a place for Hindu pilgrims
to wash their bodies and clothing, and to cleanse their spirits
as well. Families often come to Varanasi to have a beloved’s
remains cremated and the ashes cast upon the holy Ganges.

The colorful aarti ceremony, a ritual of offering light to one or
more deities, is performed by Hindu priests beside the Ganges
every evening. One need not be of the Hindu faith to be moved
by its poignant beauty, especially when witnessing it in person,
as you do on Wings Over India.

Yet Varanasi’s spiritual nexus extends well beyond the Ganges.
Temples devoted to Buddhism, Jainism and Islam, can be found
here, and not far outside the city stands Sarnath, where it is
believed the Buddha delivered his first sermon — a place you
also visit firsthand on this wide-ranging adventure by private air.
