AirVentures Balloon Safari begins with an early morning pick up by AirVentures from participants' accommodation venue in the Kasane area. A short transfer of approximately 45 minutes delivers guests to the launch site in the Seloko Plains. On arrival, the experience of watching the hot air balloon being inflated gets guests ready for the adventure ahead. Take-off is just before sunrise, and as the hot air balloon starts to drift across the African savanna, the sun starts to break the horizon, and the spectacle of the sights and sounds of the wildlife below begins. A flight of approximately an hour has guests skimming across the treetops, perfect for game viewing, and ascending into the blue skies of Botswana for a panoramic view of the vast untouched wilderness below. Eventually, touch down to terra firma is greeted with the friendly smiles of the awaiting ground crew. The traditional celebrations with Champagne are held in the bush, toasting the age-old adventure. A short transfer through the Seloko Plains has guests arriving at a five star camp for breakfast and presentation of flight certificates by the pilot.
