Hot Air Balloon Flight Tips
Hot air balloon flights rank among the top things to do in South Africa. This country has so much scenic beauty for both visitors and locals to enjoy, but not everybody has been able to see it from a bird’s eye view. Hot air balloon rides offer a majestic experience that cannot be matched, but it is also important that you go prepared. To assist you in making things as comfortable and enjoyable as possible, here are a few tips:
1. Dress accordingly:
South Africa has some of the best weather in the world for hot air ballooning (hence the 70 percent success rate in flying), which makes dressing for the occasion quite simple actually. In the summer months, it is advised to dress relatively cool as temperatures will rise with the sun. In the winter months the wind can get chilly on occasion, so bring a warm top with you.
2. Don’t worry about motion medication:
Unlike flying in an aeroplane, hot air ballooning provides a smooth and relaxing experience for you to enjoy. Because there is no G-force pressing you back into your seat or extreme turbulence, people who suffer from motion sickness are not affected by this trip. Having a fear of heights also prevents a lot of people from enjoying a journey, but it shouldn’t. The gondola or basket is 1.2m high, which means you won’t be looking straight down.
3. Be careful with your accessories:
Things like binoculars or cameras should definitely be present on this trip and it is definitely safe for you to bring them along, but you should be mindful that you are up in the air. Simple acts, like putting the binoculars strap around your neck and fitting the safety band of your camera around your wrist will ensure that your goods are safe if they are held out over the edge of the basket.
