Meet Jones Mathias Temba, a talented hot air balloon pilot hailing from Tanzania! With over 2000 flying hours under his belt, Jones has been soaring high in the skies for 14 years now. As a former fixed-wing pilot, Jones switched to hot-air ballooning and has never looked back.
He loves the thrill and adventure that come with each flight and takes all necessary safety measures to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for his passengers.
Jones is a big fan of watching soccer when he is not flying or in books, adding more knowledge about wildlife. He’s had the honor of flying with many famous people but would love the opportunity to fly with one of the greats, such as Messi or Ronaldo.
For those considering a hot air balloon flight, Jones has just one piece of advice – go for it! He believes hot air ballooning is a unique and unforgettable experience, and it has always been an adventure for him as he loves flying. If you’re lucky enough to have Jones as your pilot, sit back, relax, and trust that you’re in safe hands.
Estuvimos en el Serengeti por unos días y decidimos hacer el Safari en Globo Aerostático y ¡fue nuestra mejor opción! Fue maravilloso ver los animales y el paisaje desde arriba. Nuestro Capitán Jones Temba fue muy amable y vio todo. Incluso tuvimos la oportunidad de ver un leopardo. corriendo tras las cebras!
It is a once-in-a-lifetime experience you may not miss. The trip starts early in the morning and you can enjoy a beautiful sunrise with a cup of coffee while the crew is preparing the balloon…… very exciting!! After a safety briefing, it’s time to enter the basket…….in a very special way!
Once the balloon is up in the air you are short on eyes to spot everything beneath you……….what a view, what an impressive landscape.
Vimos mucha vida salvaje e hicimos las fotos más hermosas que jamás hayamos visto.
Captain Jones Temba made some nice shots with the GoPro camera outside the balloon and gave us extra information about the animals, the environment, the Serengeti, and the natives ……all with a nice kind of humor 🙂
Fue una experiencia increíble, que terminó con un aterrizaje suave y una copa de champán. Luego, un pequeño viaje de regreso, en jeep, al lugar donde se sirvió un desayuno muy agradable y completo y recibirá su certificado de vuelo.
Un día para recordar !!!
We did it…….what about you ??
Un cordial saludo,
Carlo y Vicky de Bélgica
Qué experiencia tan increíble, un verdadero "must" para su aventura de safari, disfruté completamente cada parte de esto. Capt Temba es genial y te da un valor real
This was my first time riding a hot air balloon. The teams came to my lodge to do the briefing before the day and it was very detailed. I’m glad that I was with Capt Jones to be the pilot as he did a very good job! He turned the directions to make sure everybody en la cesta se puede obtener una bonita vista.
El paseo en globo fue increíble!! La vista desde arriba era tan diferente y más allá de nuestras expectativas. La tripulación fue muy servicial y cortés. ¡El desayuno era delicioso y el canto fue una ventaja adicional! Definitivamente recomiendo al Capitán Temba.
