Namibia : Hot air balloon flight over the Namib dunes
A hot air balloon flight over the Namib dunes is an experience you should have at least once in your life. Take off at sunrise and follow the wind as it moves over this magnificent landscape. In a silent balloon, admire the splendor of nature. Sossusvlei, this arid place, is one of the most authentic destinations in Namibia. It is made up of a contrast of scenery, including yellow plains, red and pink dunes and dry stretches.
In addition to being one of the oldest deserts in the world, the Namib is a refuge for certain plants and animal species. These groups of fauna and flora are naturally adapted to this hostile environment. On site you will encounter oryx, springbok, ostrich, cheetah, leopard and mountain zebra. The average flight time is one hour. Like a magic carpet, the balloon follows the speed of the wind.

Water safaris
Botswana's Okavango Delta, water safaris
The result of a rare natural phenomenon, the Okavango Delta is one of the largest inland deltas in the world. To top it all off, this mouth is in the middle of the desert. The waters of the site never flow into the ocean. They are fed by the rains that fall in Angola (between December and February). In the south, the waters of the Okavanga Delta reach their highest level in August. The site includes a reserve and private concessions. These are ideal for photo safaris.
