Hot Air Balloon Flights Over The Kruger Region

browse (1 / 4)

Imagine yourself flying in the cool air three hundred feet above Africa’s wilderness, looking down on herds of wildebeest moving across the grasslands. Gusts of rising hot air inflate the majestic craft as it rises above the wilderness panorama. Depending on the wind direction, you may find yourself floating away towards the new day’s sunrise or just brushing the tree tops.

Hot air ballooning is one of Africa’s most exciting sight-seeing adventures. As a visitor you can experience the beauty and spirit of the bushveld from a safe and expansive viewpoint. From way up in the basket you can view the awe-inspiring stretch of wilderness as far as the eye can wander and soak up the beauty of the spectacular terrain below. From the thrill-seeker to the pair of romantic honeymooners this is without a doubt a voyage everyone should take in a lifetime. It is a safe and green way to travel, with no carbon emissions or environmental spoiling, so you can delight in the wonders of nature without harming the natural environs.

Hot air balloon day trips operate just outside of the famous Kruger Park Reserve in the Hoedspruit region. Balloon flights launch in the early morning while the temperatures are still cool. Participate in the flight preparation by assisting with the rigging and inflation of the balloon, or simply watch the process over a glass of champagne and orange juice. The balloon’s direction will be determined by the speed of wind and the day’s climate. There as never been a better way to be one with the natural world as you float serenely above escarpments, forests and hills. Pilots are certified and experienced, to ensure that your trip be a safe and memorable experience. You can expect to be in the air for approximately one hour; after touching ground guests can enjoy a country breakfast and Cape wine at a nearby lodge to end off a truly unforgettable journey.
