Explanation: Why is the transfer only one way from the airport? We are not aware of your other plans after arriving in Namibia, whether you intend to rent a car and drive back to the airport after your stay. However, with the Swakopmund Package, the return transfer to the airport is included as an option. If you wish to have a direct transfer from the farm to the airport, that can be arranged as well.
