AirVentures Hot Air Ballooning in conjunction with Kadizora Camp and An African Anthology is proud to announce the commencement of operations of AirVentures Okavango Balloon Safaris, who will be offering balloon safaris over the iconic Okavango Delta.
The Okavango Delta represents one of the last truly unspoilt wilderness areas in Africa, and remains one of nature’s marvels. On the bank of an expansive lagoon is where the magnificent Kadizora Camp has been created.
Beneath a majestic stand of trees and along a peninsula, commanding uninterrupted panoramic vistas of the delta, the camp has been set out to afford each of the luxury tents absolute privacy. Kadizora Camp presents 10 luxury tents, each with generous living spaces, and surrounded by sophisticated furnishings and full en suite bathroom.
In addition to open vehicle and walking safaris, mokoro excursions will provide the ideal position from which to explore the endless flow of rivers and tributaries. This tranquil experience permits close encounters with an abundance of bird and wildlife.
The camp is reached after a short 40 minute flight from Maun, and Maun is connected to the major hubs in South Africa and Zimbabwe making access relatively seamless. Kasane International Airport is also used as a hub and gateway.
Operations began this year (2015), in August, and will continue until the end of November, thereafter re-commencing in May 2016 until the end of November. In keeping with the intimacy of Kadizora Camp, a four passenger balloon will be operated, giving the flight a personalised touch, combined with one on one interaction with the pilot. Balloon safaris will be offered daily and will launch at sunrise.
Itinerary:
• Early morning wake-up call
• Game drive to the balloon launch site
• Tea/ Coffee and snacks served while the balloon is inflated
• Flight of approximately 45min
• Champagne celebration on landing, with snacks
• Commemorative flight certificates presented by the pilot
• Game Drive back to Camp
Price USD 430 per person (2015 – 2016), Minimum 2 passengers, Maximum 4 passengers.
Due to the remoteness of the operation, combined with the balloon safaris launching at sunrise, a night’s accommodation may need to be booked at Kadizora Camp.
A hot air balloon adventure over the Okavango Delta presents a unique opportunity to drift above one of the natural world heritage sites. Whether on honeymoon or sharing an anniversary or just for the fun of it, this is an incredible experience that shouldn't be missed.
