Seeing familiar places in an unfamiliar way.
Skytrek is a premium aviation and low-altitude aerial experiences company. Our first offering is hot air ballooning: quiet, slow flights that let people experience a landscape from above.
Hot air ballooning is our craft. The balloon, the crew and the launch field are each chosen for the quality of the flight, and always held to the same standard of safety and care.
We are deliberately enquiry-led. Every experience is arranged directly with our team so that timing, weather, location and guest needs are considered properly before anything is confirmed.

Test flight
With NASRDA
National Space Research and Development Agency
On 1 October 2026, in collaboration with the National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA), we flew the first hot air balloon in Nigerian skies, in a test flight over Abuja timed to the country's Independence anniversary.
The flight was conducted to validate the balloon's operational capabilities, and marks a significant step towards regular passenger flights. We currently offer flights over Abuja, with new experience locations launching soon in Lagos and Port Harcourt.
Abuja today, two more soon.

Safety
No experience is worth compromising safety. Every decision starts here.
Care
We plan each experience personally, around the people taking part.
Restraint
We would rather do fewer things well than many things quickly.
Respect
For the landscapes we fly over and the communities who live there.
