Hot Air Ballooning over an untamed African lowveld is quite simply a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Capture the majesty of the skies and all below it by serenely and noiselessly floating over wildlife, flanked by the impressive Drakensburg mountain range. This experience offers an unmatched photography experience! Enjoy fruit juice and sparkling wine when you touch down after your hour's flight.

The balloon is confirmed the morning of the flight for weather reasons – please speak to your host if you have booked a balloon ride so that contact can be made regarding the flight.
