For a while my wife had expressed a wish to take her first balloon trip in Morocco so for our wedding anniversary and to coincide with Valentine’s Day we booked a trip to Marrakesh. Having arranged flights and accommodation we booked the Ciel d’Afrique balloon flight through a UK travel agent back in December and paid in full. I ignored... More

Without doubt, this was the absolute highlight of our trip to Marrakesh! It was an absolutely magical and enchanting experience from beginning to end. Not only that, it was also very professionally managed too - which makes all the difference when you're a little bit nervous (as we were!). In short, if you want to experience something unique which you'll... More

We had a great flight - up 1000 meters for great birds-eye view, and also close to ground cruising also. They are assisting a local village with a berber breakfast for clients - provision of which is shared around the village, spreading the increased wealth, good integration into the community. Definitely would recommend! More

We booked directly with Ciel d'Afrique for a balloon trip on 19th October 2010. My husband and I were in Marrakech to celebrate my 40th birthday and this trip was to take place on the day itself. We were very much looking forward to it, and had made sure that we had confirmed our Riad location and all details necessary.... More

Main event for or 10th anniversary celebrations. Despite my husband being scared of heights the balloon flight was a great hit. Maurice the pilot was calm, confident and entertaining. He provided facts and commentary throughout the flight. The views were spectacular and even the landing was more fun than traumatic. We gently came to rest on our side at the... More

Ciel d'Afrique takes you into the outskirts of Marrakech by 4x4. You drive through several villages to the balloon so you'll already have seen some local culture you otherwise wouldn't. The balloon trip takes you up above the villages with stunning views of the sunrise, it's worth the 5am start. Coming down we picked up some wind and covered 10km... More

I must begin by saying how remarkable the pilot is. Marcelle is fantastic company, very approachable, very laid back and a brilliant host with great conversation. Don't let the early morning start put you off it really really is worth it. The experiance, and the sights are fantastic and for us taking mint tea in a Berber village was just... More
