A Namibia hot air balloon flight lifts you over the Namib Desert near Sossusvlei at sunrise. You float above the dunes, mountains and gravel plains for about 1 hour. After landing, you have breakfast in the desert. Balloon flights leave from the Sesriem and Sossusvlei area, and we add them to any trip that stays near the dunes.
What is included
- Early pick-up from your lodge near Sesriem
- About 1 hour flight at sunrise
- Breakfast in the desert after landing
- Flight certificate
- Return to your lodge
Where you go
- Namib Desert near Sesriem: Flights cross the dunes, plains and mountains east of the dune sea.
- NamibRand Nature Reserve: Some flights cross the private reserve south of Sossusvlei.
Best time to go
Balloon flights run most of the year, weather permitting. Wind can cancel a flight, so plan 2 nights near Sossusvlei to give you a second chance.
Price and how to book
A balloon flight is an add-on to a Sossusvlei trip. The trips below all stay 2 nights near Sesriem, so you can add a flight. Seats are limited, so book early, especially from June to October.
