A Ballooning experience like no other
There is no comparable feeling to the one experienced, when you slowly and silently drift across one of the world’s most scenic places while the early morning sun paints the surrounding area in colours, imprinting a never to be forgotten picture in your mind. For the past 28 years Namib Sky Balloon Safaris have offered this unforgettable experience in the beautiful area of Sossusvlei, found the southern Namib Desert.
The experience starts with a transfer to the balloon launch site about 45 minutes before sunrise. After a quick briefing, passengers witness the inflation of the balloon, which is a sight to behold on its own. At sunrise the balloon is launched for an hour long flight that offers some breath taking panoramas and views of the most extraordinary landscapes, the direction being entirely determined by the wind. Namib Sky Balloon Safaris have an exclusive concession, which allows access to areas within the Namib Naukluft National Park and the Namib Rand Nature Reserve. This allows them to offer you as passenger sights, which no-one else can. One of the great advantages of travelling by balloon is the absence of engine noise. So even while doing low-level flying you do not disturb animals, which presents the passenger with great opportunities to take unique photos.
On landing a delicious out-of-Africa-style champagne breakfast awaits passengers in the middle of the world’s oldest desert. From here they are taken on a leisurely nature drive back to their pick-up point.
Namib Sky Balloon Safaris prides itself in having a 100% safety record, thanks to thorough maintenance of its top of the range equipment and experienced pilots. Being eco-friendly is another important aspect of their operation and the company follows a strict policy of only leaving footprints.
