Discover the most timeless form of flight known to man, Hot Air Ballooning. Discover Ballooning welcomes you to the exciting world of hot air ballooning. We will take you on an unforgettable journey over some of the most splendid scenery our country has to offer.
We fly from Hartbeespoort Dam and Cullinan Mine, the two most scenic launch sites in the country. Harties is a beautifully scenic flight and most of our flights go directly over the dam and the Magalies Ridge. Watching the sunrise from the basket is a breathtaking experience you will never forget.
Your Hot Air Ballooning Experience will begin just before sunrise, as the winds are at their calmest. While enjoying your tea or coffee, be amazed at the professional Hot Air Ballooning crew, preparing the Hot Air Balloon for inflation.
All Hot Air Ballooning pilots know the areas they fly in generally well and will certainly point out features, places of interest and amaze you with interesting facts. Depending on the location that you fly, the pilot will do a little contour flying, skimming the tree tops, higher altitude flying and if there is water, you might be lucky enough to experience a "splash and dash"
Hot Air Balloons cannot be steered, they drift with the winds, so although the pilot might have a very good idea in which direction you will be flying in, your destination is still unknown. You will be retrieved by the professional Hot Air Ballooning crew, who might be there when you land or might take a while longer, depending on ease of access.
You and the fellow passengers are then transported back to the launch site, for a scrumptious breakfast. All the activity, emotion, enjoyment, satisfaction you could possibly entertain before the rest of the world awake around you.
Hot Air Ballooning is undoubtably magical, sure to leave you breathless, in awe or simply wowed by the whole experience.
