Hot air balloon is one of the most marvelous inventions of humankind. However, it is the simplest aircraft ever made. It consists of just 3 components. A basket, a burner and an envelope make up a hot-air balloon. People have been using these same three components to operate hot-air balloon ever since its invention by the Montgolfier brothers in the 18th century. Although the sophistication level and standard is higher now, it is still composed of just those three things. The only difference between now and then is that advanced technology has enabled it to fly higher, faster and safer.

Adventure tourism is a fast-growing category in the holiday sector due to unforgettable memories. It supports local communities, encourages sustainable practices, and attracts high-value customers. Thus, the growth of this sector benefits destination economies, their tourism, the environment, and their people. It is alleged that ballooning is magical and once in a lifetime experience. Balloon flights grab the attention of any adventure-loving tourist. They are now available from the beach towns in Australia to the wildlife reserves in Africa. A perfectly managed and well-designed ballooning experience can lead not only to positive word of mouth but also to high satisfaction.
An hot air balloon safari in the savannas of Kenya is a wonderful experience, which lingers even after the balloon ride. A typical hot-air balloon ride lasts for about an hour. Weather conditions are best just after sunrise and two hours before sunset because light winds often occur during these timings making for easier ascent and descent. Passengers feel absolutely no wind because the balloon moves with it. The best and the fun part of the ride happens once the balloon is grounded. A luxurious champagne breakfast is served at the landing site in the wild as the ride ends.
