Hot air balloons cannot be steered like an airplane; they travel entirely at the mercy of the prevailing morning winds. Therefore they never land exactly where they took off.

You do not need to worry about being stranded in the jungle. A dedicated chase crew in a safari jeep constantly tracks the balloon via radio and drives directly to the exact landing spot to pick you up and serve you a champagne breakfast.

The highly skilled pilot will search for a safe open clearing often a dry rice paddy field or a school playground to gently set the basket down. It is part of the adventure.
