Unforgettable 50th Birthday Celebration

5.00Marius and Marc, were outstanding. Went on my long awaited 50th Birthday Gift, and it was well worth the wait. Very early start this morning, but the weather held off, and had a perfect flight. The landing was a bit bumpy, but I would have expected nothing less. Celebrated with a Glass of Champagne, on landing. We were then treated to a 5 star breakfast at Kloofzicht Lodge and Spa. What a way to end a celebration.
Best experience ever, do not hesitate!!

Unforgettable Couple’s Balloon Ride

5.00We had an amazing time! We weren’t expecting to also get some views of wildlife, but there was a game reserve next door so we saw rhinos, giraffes, and wildebeests; it was a lovely surprise!! We also had arranged transport to/from JNB through them and it was seamless and very reasonable priced. A truly unforgettable experience - 10/10 recommend!
