Reviews: Ballooning in the Namib Desert

"Wonderful experience! Stunning views and expert piloting by Denis!" Read more about this whole safari

"The balloon ride was a highlight of our trip. We had reservations about paying the high price, but it would have been a major mistake to pass up this opportunity.

Weather delayed our scheduled balloon ride twice, but luckily for us we were able to do it on the morning our departure. We experienced an incredible sight as low clouds hung over the desert with dunes and mountains peeking through. The light was incredible and having 2 balloons enabled all kinds of photo opportunities. The pilots and operator raved on and on about this being an incredible flight. I believe them.

You know the flight is really good when the pilots are excited and taking pictures along with the passengers." Read more about this whole safari

"A fabulous experience.

The company was very well organised, the pilot (Jerome) was great and the champagne breakfast afterwards was perfect." Read more about this whole safari

"Fantastic - apart from a rather annoying group of photographers who were also part of this and clearly thought they were the only ones that mattered.

As mentioned on previous comments not enough prior information was given on this and given the state of the road and the fact that we had to get there in the dark it would have been good to have been picked up.

The trip itself was great - beautiful sunrise, landscape etc and good breakfast after" Read more about this whole safari

"Denis and his team provided a truly memorable trip. The balloon trip alone would be spectacular enough, but Denis provided a whole extra dimension. His knowledge and love of the area and his families commitment to the entire region is clearly from the heart. He has a genuine warmth and love for the area, it’s people and ballooning that results in this being beyond just a balloon flight. He is also clearly a very highly skilled balloon pilot.

If you are nervous or having second thoughts, then put them aside and have a day to remember for ever.

A thank you also to the ground crew, particularly Sancho, for looking after my wife whilst tracking the balloon." Read more about this whole safari

"Rob was wonderful and gave us a fantastic morning.

The views were spectacular but I was a little disappointed not to be nearer to the dunes.

The breakfast afterwards was out of this world." Read more about this whole safari

"Hot air ballooning over the red desert is probably one of those everlasting experiences. If you're pondering on whether it is worth the extra money, just do it and get it booked.

We were lucky to be able to go on the day we had scheduled, as sometimes if there is too much or not enough wind the ride will be postponed - so try and give yourselves a couple of days. The champagne breakfast by the dunes following the dune ride itself was a great experience too." Read more about this whole safari
