Find answers to common questions about our hot air balloon safari experience.
The flight itself lasts approximately 1 hour, but the entire experience from preparation to breakfast takes about 3-4 hours. We recommend allowing half a day for the complete Celestial Africa experience.
We recommend wearing comfortable, layered clothing as it can be cool in the early morning but warmer as the sun rises. Closed-toe shoes are recommended. Avoid loose items that could be carried away by wind.
Children should be at least 8 years old and accompanied by an adult. Participants should be able to stand for the duration of the flight and manage a step into the basket. Those with serious health conditions, recent surgeries, or who are pregnant should consult their doctor before booking.
Safety is our top priority. If weather conditions are unsuitable for flying, we will reschedule your flight for the next available date or provide a full refund. The final decision to fly is made by our pilot on the morning of your scheduled flight.
Absolutely! We encourage guests to bring cameras to capture the breathtaking views. Our baskets are designed with photography in mind, providing stable platforms and unobstructed views. We recommend bringing a strap for your camera for added security.
