SAFETY & COMFORT
Flight time
We typically target a one hour flight, however the exact timings of the flight depends on the flight path and weather conditions of the day and all decisions for duration of the flight are the sole responsibility of the pilot.
No Discounts or refunds are offered to flights less or more than one hour.
Pilot & Crew
Our pilots will brief all passengers before and during the flight with simple instructions. It is important to follow these instructions for your safety and for your fellow passengers.
Balloon crew are also available to assist.
What to bring
The early African mornings can be cool, so a good idea to bring a light jacket or sweater.
You want to bring something that is easy to peel off as conditions can heat up quickly.
Although all balloons are fitted with heat shield to protect you from heat from the burners, it is a good idea to bring a hat to protect you against the heat and sun during the balloon flight and breakfast on the plains.
Comfortable walking shoes are important and make it easier to get in and out of the the basket.
High heels shoes are not recommended.
A small bag to store your camera equipment’s and personal affects is also recommended.
Aircraft
All balloons with Adventures Aloft have double T basket.
This allows for superior viewing for all passengers and extra safety in the basket.
