Balloon safaris over the Namib Desert above Sossusvlei
An exclusive concession in Sossusvlei, Namib-Naukluft National Park
and NamibRand Nature Reserve
A spectacular launching and take-off as the sun rises over the world’s oldest desert.
Your destination? The Sossusvlei dunes in the National Park or the splendour of the desert in the surrounding private reserves.
Soar with the winds for an hour over the ocean of sand and mountains, endless vista of shadow and light.
At landing, the dream is not over. In the middle of nowhere, you come back to earth with an « Out of Africa » Champagne Breakfast. A memorable Flight Certificate is presented before your nature drive back to your accommodation.
Departure:
Around 45 minutes before sunrise, we collect our passengers from:
Le Mirage
Kulala Desert Lodge
Sossusvlei Lodge
Sesriem Gate (for Sesriem campsite and Sossus Dune Lodge)
Sossusvlei Desert Lodge on Namib Rand Reserve
If you overnight somewhere else, inquire at reception in order to reach one of the above meeting points on time.
Passengers will be back approximately 3 to 4 hours later. If you have a tight schedule, let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you.
Clothing:
Casual, hat recommended.
During the inflation, you will enjoy a pullover, as the mornings can be chilly in the desert. Once the balloon takes off, the burner above you will warm you nicely.
In summer, a hat or a cap is necessary.
Please do not overload the basket with unnecessary items; the balloon is very sensitive to the weight. You will just need your camera!
Safety:
Our passenger’s safety is our priority. Our pilots are all highly qualified and holders of commercial license.
We have a 100% safety record with over 70 000 passengers flown over the last 25 years.
We only fly in perfect weather condition. This is the reason why we might have to cancel a flight if the weather is not right. In this case, we will not charge you.
Please note that Pregnant Passengers are not allowed on the Balloon flight, due to safety reasons but are welcome to follow the Balloon and join for Breakfast.
Kindly inform us should anyone be above average weight.
General information:
Ballooning is like a magic carpet. While you fly, you do not feel any turbulence as you go at the wind speed.
The tranquility of your flight will give you plenty photographic opportunities and unsurpassed view of the Namib Desert.
The pilot controls perfectly his altitude- but has no steering wheel. He will control his direction choosing the wind channels he will find at different levels.
As we have an exclusive concession into the National Park, this allows us to take you to the most unspoiled areas not accessible to the public.
The ground crew has permanently a radio contact with the pilot, and follows the balloon until landing where an Out of Africa Champagne breakfast will be served.
NB: You are not affected by vertigo in a Hot Air Balloon!
Reservations:
You will be asked to complete a Booking form in order to secure your booking.
Children:
Children less than 6 years old are only allowed on the Balloon Flight, if taller than 1.2m.
An adult should accompany a child less than 16 years old. Smaller kids can follow the balloon with our ground crew in our transfer vehicle with a babysitter we will provide and share the Champagne breakfast at landing – free of charge.
