Bucket list experience. Thanks so much to our captain, Hego.
Adventures Aloft Balloon Safari Tanzania的点评
点评:Our balloon flight over the central Serengeti was amazing, a bucket list experience done in style! Our driver met us at our hotel the night before to explain the trip and agree a collection time. We set off on time before dawn the following morning for the 1:15 hour journey to the balloon, our driver using his torch to pick out animal eyes in the savanna as we travelled. Once at the take off site we were offered coffee and biscuits to keep us going, and toilets were available. The balloon was prepared for take off and we climbed into the basket upright rather than having to wriggle in on its side. We were very pleased to have lifted off prior to sunrise - many balloons in the distance were still on the ground at sunrise, so all credit to our balloon team (fancy not being aloft for sunrise!). Our pilot Hego was very good, knowledgeable and did his best to steer the balloon as best he could towards animals on the ground for us to get a better view. We saw elephants, buffalo and hippos. Fantastic seeing them from above. After an hour we did have to land but Hego planned it well as we landed very smoothly without tipping over. While the ground team packed up the balloon we enjoyed a glass of bubbly, then were driven to a small camp for a private cooked buffet breakfast in the middle of the Serengeti. Unforgettable! The video of our trip was a real souvenir to remember our awesome trip.
Thanks to everyone involved in giving us this experience.
翻译:我们在塞伦盖蒂中部乘坐热气球的旅程令人惊叹,绝对是一次难忘的体验!前一天晚上,我们的司机在酒店与我们碰面,详细介绍了行程并约定了接送时间。第二天清晨,我们在黎明前准时出发,开始了前往热气球起飞点的1小时15分钟车程。沿途,司机用手电筒照亮稀树草原,帮我们寻找动物的眼睛。到达起飞点后,工作人员为我们提供了咖啡和饼干,并设有洗手间。热气球已准备就绪,我们无需侧身挤进吊篮,而是直立地进入。我们非常高兴能在日出前升空——远处许多热气球在日出时分仍停留在地面上,所以我们要特别感谢我们的热气球团队(想想看,如果没能在空中欣赏日出该有多遗憾!)。我们的飞行员赫戈技术精湛、知识渊博,他尽力操控热气球,尽可能地靠近地面上的动物,让我们能够更好地观赏它们。我们看到了大象、水牛和河马。从空中俯瞰它们,真是太棒了!一个小时后,我们不得不降落,但赫戈计划得非常周全,我们平稳地着陆,没有翻倒。地面团队收拾热气球时,我们享用了一杯香槟,然后乘车前往塞伦盖蒂中心的一个小营地,享用了一顿私人自助早餐。真是难忘的经历!这次旅行的视频也成了我们美好回忆的珍贵纪念品。
感谢所有为我们带来这次精彩体验的人。
