Overview

If you’re going to do it, then do it in unassailable style. Quaff sparkling wine as you enjoy what some describe as the closest thing to heaven known to man - the "magical experience" of lazily drifting with the wind in a hot air balloon on a fascinating aerial sightseeing flight over the majestic Magalies River Valley, in the Cradle of Humankind, on South Africa's largest and most experienced balloon air-service. Although the flight is an hour, we suggest you keep your morning free as breakfast is included! A Top class "Must do" South African experience. Confirmation will be received within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability

Meeting points

The launch site is situated in a small town called "Skeerpoort", west of Hartbeespoort dam.

End point

It is a well oiled machine all over! The facilities, the staff, the breakfast, the flight everything ia a above average experience! Well done to all! The weather permitted us to experience all the fun and this special experience!

An unforgettable experience that is most deserving of you bucket list

Published on Dec, 2024

Truely breathtaking ! This is a full-package experience that will surpass your expectations in every way - professional, friendly, and breathtakingly beautiful! From the moment that the car guard Johannes greets you, the friendly restaurant staff providing a cup of early morning coffee, you witnessing the preparations for the flight, the skill of the pilots and supporting staff in getting the balloon in the air. And then the wonderful experience of floating up into the air, higher than the birds. Deep respect for his experience and truely enjoyed the quirkiness of our pilot, Flip. Closing out the morning with a really nice breakfast. One of the all-round best tourist experiences that I have had in my life!
