Janet’s Hot Air Balloon Ride in Namibia by Tania Wheeler
Janet and some of her friends travelled through Namibia recently and had the awesome opportunity to take a hot air balloon flight over the gorgeous Namib Desert.
Here is what she had to say about it:
“One of the most wonderful experiences of my life was drifting in a hot air balloon over the majestic sand dunes in Namibia.
Once you are airborne you drift silently over the dunes. I witnessed a very special African sunrise from the silence of the hot air balloon.
The sand dunes and their colours are magnificent, the images of the dunes will live with me forever. The landscape is ever-changing and the moon-like landscape and sand dunes constantly change colour in the rising sun.The red dunes appear to be untouched by human hands.
It was truly an unforgettable and beautiful experience that begins before sunrise and finishes with a champagne breakfast at the base of a sand dune in what seems like the middle of nowhere.
A truly awesome experience!”
Thanks Janet! Hope to see you again soon!
