Morning Ride

Kennita_A, Apr 2022

The entire experience was amazing. We started with watching the sun rise over the valley and then traveled to the launch site. At the launch site the balloons were partially inflated with the rising sun as a back drop, it was utterly breath taking. We then loaded in the basket after the safety instructions. We then took off and ascended into the air. It was amazing to see the landscape, the launch site was perfectly situated in a valley that had such picturesque views. As we floated we were able to see various animals, such as zebras, giraffe, bucks and warthogs. Our trp was approximately an hour long which was adequate. We then landed in a nearby field. Our capital Raun landed the balloon with such excellent precision. After the landing we were given champagne and our flying certificates. And at the end of it all we had a very delicious gourmet breakfast at the lodge. The entire experience was amazing and highly recommended.

Floating in the air, and surrounded by nature

Zamanguni_M, Dec 2020

The flight was marvelous, I enjoyed from the inflating of the balloon, lifted up and feeling like one is floating in space was really good feeling. The pilot Mr. R was a gentleman and very professional with sense of humor as he was explaining about the place we were travelling on, showing us animals that were around the area during the flight time, and learnt something about nature. Lovely and best memories...
