For a truly unique and awe-inspiring perspective of Namibia, a hot air balloon trip is unmatched. Up in the air, you’ll have incredible opportunities for photography too, to help capture the moment.

Few experiences encompass the scale and drama of Namibia like drifting silently above the deserts, dunes, and rugged scenery. Imagine floating over the iconic dunes of Sossusvlei and seeing the towering sands and sprawling landscapes from a whole new vantage point.

Ballooning is often an early morning activity, meaning you’ll be up before dawn, but the early wake-up call will be worthwhile. Beginning just after sunrise, balloon flights depart from the launch site near Sossusvlei. The early morning light sets the dunes ablaze in deep reds and golds – photographers, get your cameras ready! After drifting over the surreal landscape, you’ll land to a champagne breakfast in the dunes.

A hot air balloon trip is an unforgettable way to celebrate a special occasion or simply add an extraordinary dimension to your Namibian safari.
