Some great news from Botswana - balloon safaris in the Chobe Region, over the Seloko Plains are operational. The Seloko Plains is a vast concession situated 45 minutes south of the town, Kasane. It is an important wildlife corridor, extending from Zimbabwe to join up with, the Chobe National Park, and the Kasane Forest Reserve, forming part of the Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area. The diverse habitat incorporates large tracts of forest which open up into wide open grassland plains, making it perfect for balloon safaris.
Operations are seasonal due to the soil type in the concession becoming impassable during the wet season. The Ballooning season finishes on the 30th September 2021 (thereafter on an annual basis).
Visitors have a variety of accommodation options available in the Kasane area, or can opt to overnight in one of the Camps closer to the flying area. A one night’s stay-over prior to the balloon safari is necessary for optimal enjoyment. Transfer vehicles collect guests in the Kasane Area and will transfer them to the launch site.
A flight of approximately an hour explores the reaches of the wilderness of the Seloko Plains and is concluded with the traditional bubbly celebration overlooking the vast savanna plains. Breakfast at a five star camp rounds off the experience before guests are transferred back to Kasane.
Operational Dates: Concludes 30 September 2021
2022 Season: 01 May to 30 September 2022
Cost: USD 395 per person
Valid 2021 & 2022
(Minimum of 4 guests – These can be booked from different sources)
