Safari Flight in Hot Air Balloon

BALLOON RIDE
  • About 1 hour

Description

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 approximately 30 minutes drive from Johannesburg and 40min drive from Pretoria.
