Floating above it all in a hot-air balloon gives you the best take on the expanse of wildlife areas in Southern & East Africa. What amazes most first-time balloonists is the absolute stillness: the silence as you float above the scenic plains, desert dunes, forests, and rivers in Africa. Even if you’ve flown elsewhere, this is a unique experience. Balloon flights last an hour or so, drifting wherever the air currents take you, and with ample opportunities for photography and video filming. In the time-honored tradition of balloon flights the world over, you toast your return to earth with a champagne breakfast. Most Balloon Safaris end with some leisurely game viewing on the way back to your lodge or camp. With our in-depth knowledge and first-hand experience of Southern and East Africa, we’re able to custom-make a safari, with all the added adventures and activities, to suit your individual preferences and budget. Let's start planning!
