The Balloon Crew, consisting of the pilot and 3 crew, will arrive at the Lodge the evening prior to the flight, meet the passengers, answer questions and brief them, for the following morning's balloon safari.
On the morning of the flight, the Balloon Crew will set off just before sunrise to establish the optimum launch site. The passengers will follow half an hour later with their Ranger who will have been advised of the chosen launch site by radio.
The Balloon flight will last about forty five minutes, starting in the Mabula Game Reserve to fly over the game, but may land outside the reserve, depending on the flight direction and meteorological conditions.
Traditionally, champagne will be served either "in flight" or on landing, and "Certificates for Bravery" will be awarded with due ceremony.
After landing the passengers will re-join their ranger for a game drive and breakfast in the bush or at the Lodge.
Flights are conducted at the sole discretion of the pilot with regard to safety.
If the Hot Air Balloon Safari is cancelled by the passenger, the deposit is forfeited. If the flight is cancelled because of bad weather, the flight is either re-booked or the deposit returned.
Should any element of the package be postponed or cancelled, this will not affect the commitment of any party in the agreement to the supplying and charging for, or receiving and paying for, the other elements of the package on the original dates unless otherwise agreed in writing.
A minimum of 4 guests is required to justify a Flight Departure but these could be from 4 individual sources.
Each balloon can be programmed to make one flight per day, at sunrise. If the flight is cancelled by us, for safety reasons, we will endeavor to fly in the late afternoon if conditions permit.
As there is less chance of flying in the late afternoon / early evening due to instability in the air at that time, it is not recommended to pre-programme for evening flights when booking.
We can endeavor to "consolidate" flights, if requested, where there are less than 4 guests requesting to fly, but such flights can only be confirmed "Subject To Others" and the relevant deposit must be pre-paid or acceptably guaranteed.
Full refunds will be made for flights cancelled by ourselves for safety reasons, and refunds for flights shorter than forty five minutes will be calculated according to our published scale.
