Namib Sky Hot Air Ballooning

Float across the world's oldest desert in a hot air balloon

Sossusvlei , Namibia

Hot air balloons provide the best vantage point for watching the sunrise over the breath-taking landscape of Namibia. Over the past 20 years, these balloon safaris have flown over 55 000 passengers safely. The pilots at Namibian Sky are all highly qualified commercial pilots. You are greeted by champagne breakfast in the middle of the desert upon landing as the sun peeks over the horizon, painting the dunes red with its rays. This once-in-a-lifetime adventure sees you suspended in a wicker basket above this waterless realm, an experience unlike anything you have ever encountered before.

because Hot Air Balloon flights are a truly unique way to see Namibia’s spectacular landscape. This soul-stirring journey offers lifelong memories and excellent photographic opportunities.
