Reviews: Ballooning in the Namib Desert

"Apologies for the cliche, but it was an absolutely amazing experience. If you are in any doubts, just do it.

The operation is totally professional and we felt absolutely secure. The views are amazing and we both had big smiles on our faces for the rest of the day.

We'd never been up in a hot air balloon before this trip, but it such a great experience that we're sure to do it gain at the next opportunity." Read more about this whole safari

"Completely different than the Kenyan one. Lucky to have Dennis as our pilot so we were the first one to take off. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and the desert breakfast

The only thing that was off-putting was a professional photographer who was taking pictures of two models and was ordering people to move so he could get the best views.

Thankfully someone put a stop to this.

I would certainly recommend this trip." Read more about this whole safari

"What an amazing way to explore the Namib Desert! Our family loved it!

Denis and his crew were friendly and well organized.

The brunch was delicious and a fun was to end our morning (laughing and sharing stories)." Read more about this whole safari

"You have to get up early but it is worth it. Once you check in you are transported to the launch site and watch the crew setup and launch the balloon. Our captain, Denis, was amazing in how he controlled the balloon. He was even able to spin the ballon in a circle so everyone aboard could enjoy the same sight.

After a fairly gentle landing we had a great breakfast with sparkling wine in the dunes with ostriches wandering by." Read more about this whole safari

"On the expected day of our flight the weather lead to cancellation of all flying. We then discovered that we had no booking in any case.Further investigation by Kulala Lodge found that we had been booked for October not September! We were then offered an impractical flight for the day we were due to leave so we were then promised a full refund." Read more about this whole safari

"This was my fourth flight and one of the most memorable, I will never forget Agita's wide eyes (her first flight) and the amazing landing as we came in over the brachan dunes - stunning just stunning" Read more about this whole safari

"We had never done it before and absolutely loved it; as a ride and more particularly as a way of seeing the landscape.

Breathtaking....and the champagne breakfast was rather nice, too!

Expensive but really worth it." Read more about this whole safari
