Why Travelers Love BALLOONS TAKE
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Really nice experience, Its not cheap at all, but worth it to do once in your life. We had the balloon ride and the breakfast, that was great! One of a kind experience! Captain Smiles was super welcoming and full of energy. She was a big part of the experience being as nice as it was. I duly recommend! A unique experience, even if it's your second time! There's nothing like flying in a hot air balloon. From high in the skies, we can see the animals living, moving, and interacting with each other in their natural habitat. At the end of the flight, a delicious breakfast awaits us in the savannah!

A fantastic hot air balloon experience, offering a bird's-eye view of the animals on land. The balloon ride was very smooth and well worth the ticket price.
