Ballooning
Ballooning is like a magic carpet ride. While you fly, you do not feel any turbulence as you are travelling at the current wind speed. The tranquillity of your flight will give you plenty photographic opportunities and unsurpassed views.

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. The ground crew has a permanent radio contact with the pilot.

At Sossusvlei a spectacular launching and take off as the sun rises over the world’s oldest desert over windswept dunes and the splendour of the desert play-out in front of you as you soar with the winds for an hour over the ocean of sand and mountains, endless vista of shadow and light.

After 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, and the drive back is with an open 4x4.

Ballooning within the Twyfelfontein Conservancy your balloon flight will give you a bird’s eye view over the magnificent Damaraland desert scenery, which includes a unique variety of desert flora and fauna and fascinating geological formations. At Swakopmund one can enjoy and early morning balloon flight and experience the contrast of the desert and Atlantic Ocean as you drift along the coast.
