Why you ought to try a hot air balloon ride

If you've booked an African safari or simply feeling for an adventure, I would highly recommend going on a hot air balloon ride. Never-mind the fact that these huge balloons are incredible in itself, actually experiencing it for yourself will definitely be an unforgettable experience.

Balloons dotted across the sky.

There's nothing comparable to floating across the sky, feeling the open air and gaining a bird's eye view of the landscape. Here are four reasons to try it out:

1. It's inspiring

Hot air balloon flights usually happen during the early morning or the late evening, either way it's during pretty romantic times of the day - picture the skyline streaked with rose and tangerine - instant inspiration!

2. It's a bucket list adventure

Everyone has their own personal list of things that have to do or experience in their lifetime and if hot air ballooning is one of it then that's wonderful! If you are yet to draw up a bucket list, consider adding a hot air balloon ride to the list - you wont regret it.

3. It's an adventure

It may not be an adventure on par with Indiana Jones' exploits, but gliding through the sky is a close alternative.

4. It's Enlightening

The sights, sounds and smells are completely different to soaring the sky in an airplane. It's intimate and immediate.
