Itinerary

Our Balloon Safaris take place over several Game Reserves within the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site. Rolling hills, large open grasslands scattered with plains game, and winding rivers, together lay the setting for a diverse array of wildlife sightings from the hot air balloon. Our air balloon rides over the Reserves of the Cradle of Humankind, home to four of the Big Five, have a good chance of spotting these iconic animals of Africa. Drifting gently with the winds of the morning our balloon safaris offer guests unique game viewing and photographic opportunities, making for a very memorable experience. Our meeting point is conveniently located at a luxury lodge within the Cradle of Humankind, and is an approx. 30 min drive from Joburg and 40min drive from Pretoria.

It was amazing! Don’t expect to see the Big 5 on this adventure but the view and sunrise is spectacular! You won’t be disappointed. The mimosa celebration with flight bravery acknowledgment and the white cloth breakfast were very nice touches. It was an adventure I will never forget. Thank you!

What a fantastic time we had my daughters didn’t want to go and after they thanked me to say was so magical and amazing. The pilots made you feel so at ease and the time in the balloon was truly breathtaking we were very fortunate to see giraffes rhinos zebras and overall scenery was amazing. If your thinking about it book with this company breakfast was first class and in a beautiful lodge. Glad to say that’s one of my bucket list ticked off and i couldn’t have wished for a better one. thanks again Julie Parkinson

Breathtaking Adventure....Worth the investment!

Published on Dec, 2024

A very well-organized excursion to start off your day. The flight was smooth and safe, and all aspects of the experience were conducted by highly professional coordinators, pilots, and ground handlers. The calmness of the morning sunrise combined with the silence of lighter than air flight provides a very special perspective of South Africa near JNB.
