BEFORE YOU GO · CAUTIONARY DETAILS
You fly at dawn or not at all
Ballooning needs still air, and still air is a couple of hours after sunrise. An afternoon slot does not exist, and a flight that is cancelled for wind was cancelled correctly.
The landing is the part to listen about
A basket can land upright or it can tip and drag. Face the direction you are told, hold the handles inside the basket rather than the rim, and keep your knees bent until it stops moving.
Flat shoes, nothing loose
You climb into and out of a basket over its side. Hats, scarves and open shoes all end up in a field.
It is colder up there and hotter under the burner
A layer you can take off, and be aware the burner directly overhead is genuinely fierce for a few seconds at a time.

About Wildline Journeys

Wildline has run safaris out of Ranthambore, Corbett and Kanha since 2010. Our naturalists are salaried, not paid per sighting, because a guide paid on tiger sightings is a guide who will drive too fast past everything else. We cap jeeps at four guests so everyone has a clear side, and we brief every group on park distance rules before the gate rather than after a warning.

I was very nervous and the team were patient about it. Would do again. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Recommended.

I was very nervous and the team were patient about it. Would do again. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Would send friends their way.

Long wait before our slot with nowhere to sit. The activity itself was fine.

Short, but the safety brief was thorough and the crew were completely unhurried. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. Meals were good throughout and the vegetarian options weren't an afterthought. Good value for what's included.

I was very nervous and the team were patient about it. Would do again. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. No hesitation recommending them.
