Hot Air Ballooning

Launch just before dawn and experience the romance and grace of a hot air balloon floating quietly over the Sabie River Valley, as the sun rises. Enjoy breakfast with the pilot at a nearby country lodge after your flight.

Flying in a hot air balloon is a gentle adventure, and an experience unlike any other. The oldest form of flying, ballooning is seen as a graceful and romantic way to look down on the earth. Moving along at wind speed the balloon is part of the climate of the day and the ride is calm - the view of things earthbound surprisingly detailed. The view from above shows old structures and differences in terrain not visible from ground level. The wraparound view of the earth and sky is one which can be experienced in no other way.

Casual clothes are the most comfortable. A warm jersey or jacket may be needed for the early morning, but these can be taken off as the day warms up. Binoculars and camera are useful - this is a photographic opportunity not to be missed! Passengers can enjoy a cup of coffee while the balloon is being inflated. They are welcome to help with the inflation under the pilot's supervision if they would like to. Then passengers can relax and enjoy the flight and sip champagne. The flight will last approximately one hour. .After the flight you will be awarded with a Flight Certificate.
