What you'll do

It doesn't get dreamier than gazing over Sossusvlei's surreal landscape of high-rise dunes and desert-adapted wildlife from a hot air balloon. After a strong coffee under the early-morning moonlight, depart from camp and head to the launch site. Watch as the balloon comes to life with a burst of heat before lifting into the air as dawn breaks. Float above the rust-coloured desert as solo oryx become pinpricks and spot the surreal 'fairy circles' - ask your pilot about that one! Let the wind be your guide as you sink lower to see ostriches sprinting across the sand, before rising again for the ultimate snap. Your pilot will set the balloon down for a scenic champagne breakfast before you return to camp.

Notes
