Fish River Canyon
Fish River Canyon
Fellow Microlight Pilots
Asterix and I are planning a trip to NAM(ibia).
This will be an 11 day trip with our planned destination being the Fish River Canyon but as it is first and foremost an adventure, we may not end up at the Fish River (weather,customs, etc.) but we will be flying for 11 days.
Anyone interested in flying with us to Nam , please send me an e-mail.

Re: Fish River Canyon
Hi Paul
I do have a contact in Karasburg and maybe someone in Ariamsvlei that might be able to assist if they are not going away over the Easter weekend, I will also be on the farm in Southern Namibia during that week, if you have a crisis I can always try to make a plan.
Enjoy the trip!
