A new country and another unforgettable flight.
We crossed into Botswana yesterday and were rewarded this morning with perfect flying conditions near Ben’s Farm, very close to the border with Zimbabwe. As the sun rose, fourteen balloons slowly climbed into the sky together, creating another unforgettable sight. Seeing so many colourful balloons drifting above the African bush at sunrise is always special, and sharing it with friends from all over the world makes it even better.
After landing and packing away the balloons once again, we headed to the Chobe River for an afternoon boat safari. The river was full of life. We watched enormous herds of elephants crossing from one bank to the other, crocodiles resting in the sun and countless birds filling the skies. The atmosphere on board was wonderfully relaxed, and the golden light as the sun began to set made the perfect ending to another fantastic day. Tomorrow we head to Zimbabwe… and ever closer to Victoria Falls.
