At Twyfelfontein, Damaraland enjoy balloonsafari's and scenic flights in a Cessna 206, Tecnam P92 or microlight. Turn a vacation into a celebration, stay at unique flying camp, you'll appreciate the vaste horizons, the multi colored layers of the scenary and best of all: million of stars and peaceful silence. Wolfgang, born in the eastern cattle country of Namibia, always dreamt of flying but succeded only later in life, he started as a hanglider, graduating to gliding, then was one of the fathers of microlighting in southern Africa, he became fascinated by ballooning because it is so closely related to natural elements, wind and heat, upon which it relays for flying... and eventually got his commercial hot air balloon licence in Hamburg in 1995. He is also a commercial pilot, and a commercial microlight pilot and instructor. Building the flying camp put a heavy demand on his many other skills...he thought of, assembled and built everything except the walls, with the help of our two staff members.
But flying remains the love of his life and should you choose one of our activities you'll experience and share his enthusiasm.

The balloon is launched from a runway at Rag Rock, Twyfelfontein, every morning just before dawn , you will rise with the sun over the incredible landscape, slowly gaining a view of the distant blue mountains, the Brandberg towering like ghost in the mist, the multi colored formations that have resulted from geological turmoil occurred million years ago when it all began... a view that goes on forever, primal and unchanged, like the first day, a rare glimpse of how it was all meant to be... The flight is one hour plus, floating along in perfect silence broken only by the bursts of 'dragons breath'.. upon landing you will be greeted with a champagne breakfast and be leisurely returned to our camp or to your lodge if you're staying elsewhere.
We are closely dependent on the weather as we are carried upon the wind, and sometimes. If the east wind is too strong , we've had to cancel flights due to the elements, but luckily it happens very seldom. Minimum of two and a maximum of eight passengers at a time.

Work on flying camp started in August 2001, with an agreement signed with the members of Uibasen Conservancy, the owners  started with clearing the runway and erecting the steel structure hangar to shelter aircrafts from the harsh elements.
