A South African Balloon Safari: Something really different - something really special.

It's sunrise. The silence of your balloon safari is punctuated only by the occasional blast of the powerful burners and the faint call of a bird or animal far beneath. The thrill is indescribable - ballooning truly is something really different and special.

You're sipping fine champagne while hovering gently above the tree tops of the beautiful Magalies River Valley, or drifting majestically high above the Magaliesberg range, just 45 km north of Johannesburg's northern suburbs, a region boasting some of the best ballooning weather in the world.

After landing, savour a delectable champagne ballooning breakfast at our charming, well-appointed country balloon safari base, where you'll be filled with the warmest of memories.

Professional pilots, attentive crew, immaculately maintained equipment, 5 aviation safety awards, make this longest established licensed Balloon Airline in southern Africa the choice of the well informed discerning individual traveler or corporate group.

Itinerary

When you arrive at our take off site hot coffee and tea will be served while you wait for our crew to prepare the balloons for flight.

What to Bring

Clothing: Should be warm enough for the chilly early morning but it should be "peelable" because the sun, excitement and probably the champagne will soon warm you. "Country" shoes are also recommended.

Don't forget your camera and some extra film, or batteries for the video, as ballooning offers some most spectacular photo and movie opportunities.
