Enjoy the pure African light and the music of silence as you drift gently over Oases, fields and secluded villages.

• Round trip transfers from Marrakech hotels
• One hour balloon flight
• Services of an experienced, qualified pilot (French and Moroccan Pilot Licences and Air Worthiness Certificates)
• Ground support crew
• Tour of Berber Villages and visit to Berber family home for tea and a snack

In order to take advantage of the best part of the day, you will be collected from your Marrakech hotel in the early morning, between 5.30 and 6.30am (according to the season), and driven to the launch site about a kilometre to the west of Marrakech. 

The balloon is prepared, (you may take part if you wish!), and the pilots will then use his local knowledge of the area and prevailing wind currents to steer an approximate one hour course over the stunning rural landscape.  As your gondola rises slowly and majestically towards the heavens, the unfolding views run for miles and miles framed by the awesome Western High Atlas Mountains to the South. See oases and secluded Berber villages, the terraced irrigated fields of the Oueds Tinsift and Nfis of the Al Hawuz Plain. 

Back on Terra Firma and hopefully after a “kiss landing”, you will be collected and driven back to one of the villages that you passed over for a glass or two of mint tea, some Moroccan pastries or fresh bread dipped in Olive Oil in the home of one of the Berber inhabitants.  You will then be returned to your hotel with certificate in hand.

For something more special why not opt for the Champagne Flight option which includes all of the above plus French Champagne upon landing or perhaps an exclusive private tour which includes private transportation, private flight for you and your party and French Champagne upon landing.
