- Hot air ballooning
Imagine drifting soundlessly in the crisp morning air while below you herds of elephant and other game move across the landscape.
Flights over the African Wilderness.
Experience the magic of lighter-than-air flight over the Lowveld game areas adjoining the Kruger National Park. Our pilots and guides will ensure a safe, enjoyable and informative adventure that will be one of the highlights of your visit to Big Game Country.
What to expect:
We meet before sunrise and coffee is served while you watch your eight-storey high balloon being inflated and prepared for flight.
After a safety briefing you should be airborne in time to witness the sunrise. Then a change in altitude to search for a favourable wind that will allow you to drift gently over the landscape.
Sooner or later you have to come down again. After about an hour's flight, the pilot will select a suitable landing site where the retrieve crew should be in attendance. Passengers don't have to be physically fit, but landings can sometimes be bumpy, so if anyone's pregnancy is approaching term, it would be best to book their flight at a later date. To enter the basket, passengers have to be able climb over the 1.2m high rim of the basket. Be prepared to stand in the basket for at least an hour. Youngsters are welcome but should be at least 1.2m (4 foot ) tall, so they can see over the rim of the basket. Sparkling wine and fruit juice are served after the flight.
Balloon flights are subject to availability and weather conditions and are confirmed the night before.
ZAR 2,100 per person.
Booking essential.
