The Schoeman family's Skeleton Coast flying safari was incredible. The scenery changed so much from hour to hour and completely blew me away. One moment we’d be flying over a fog belt, swooping down to catch sight of the barren beaches, shipwrecks and seal colonies; next minute we’d land on the beach for a picnic before heading off into the desert to slide down the enormous sand dunes that squeak as you slide. Another favourite moment was flying into the Maldives. I was convinced that all of the pictures I had seen previously had been airbrushed to within an inch of their lives - I was wrong. The views were phenomenal, I kept looking for some sort of mainland but it literally is just hundreds and hundreds of tiny coral desert islands... paradise, basically, and that’s before I’d even been to any of the resorts!
