Addis Ababa, 08 November 2016 LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION On 1st of November 2016, the entire staff or the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Addis Ababa - 29 persons in total - joined Bram and his staff for hot air balloon flights in the early morning in the outskirts of Addis Ababa. The flight was enjoyable, comfortable and professionally executed. I can recommend witnessing the sunrise, safely flying 50+ metres above the ground!  

''Abyssinia Ballooning offers a fascinating flight experience over the beautiful rural surroundings of Addis. Experience the slow and gracious motion motion as the hot-air balloon rises gently and follows the curves of the earth. Many thanks to the always energetic and enthusiastic team at Abyssinia Ballooning!.''

"I was invited by Abyssinia Ballooning on one of its first flights over Addis Ababa in February 2012. During the flight I saw Addis slowly passing by, I heard the sounds of the town waking up, we flew at only meters over small farms in the rural area and we were warmly welcomed by hundreds of people after landing in the area of Holetta. I was happily surprised about this amazing experience as a writer and photographer and advice anyone who can afford it to experience the magic of ballooning at least once in their lives."  

“Having a balloon flight in the early morning. You will see the sunrise from the air. Flying with a balloon is a very nice experience. We did these flight from Koka with some other neighbor families. Bram, owner and captain, is doing a good job and he explains everything in a professional way and he is a good host. After the flight: champagne and a nice prepared breakfast. ”  

"We went with our team and had an absolutely beautiful experience! The team of Abyssinia ballooning is professional and the whole program - including champagne, breakfast and transport - is organized very well. 100% Recommendation! "
