Operating since 1991, Namib Sky Balloon Safaris offers one of Namibia’s most established and memorable desert experiences.
Flying at sunrise above the Namib Desert, our passengers drift silently over one of the world’s oldest landscapes, revealing vast dune fields, ancient mountains and remote desert plains in the calm morning air.
With exclusive concessions within the Namib-Naukluft National Park and the NamibRand Nature Reserve, our flights access some of the most pristine landscapes in southern Africa.
Each safari concludes with the Namib Sky Signature Desert Breakfast, served in elegant safari style in the open desert following landing.
For many travellers, this balloon safari becomes a defining highlight of their Namibian journey.
Launching at sunrise, in the most romantic way, soar with the winds for approximately an hour, over the oceans of sand and mountains, endless vistas of shadows and lights. Your destination? The splendour of the desert, destined by the winds.
Upon landing, the magic continues where our team welcomes you to our Namib Sky Signature Desert Breakfast, presented in the open wilderness – complete with a celebratory sparkling-wine toast. Exchange stories with your pilot while enjoying a decadent feast before taking a leisurely nature drive back to the meeting point.
It is an experience like no other, one that will keep you floating for days, the experience of a lifetime.
