What To Expect

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 an approx. 30 min drive from Joburg and 40min drive from Pretoria.

    Allround amazing. We had a very experienced pilot, who also explained the dynamics of the wind that allows ballooning, in a humourous way, while we could gaze at the views and enjoy wonderous animal spotting. Thank you Marc!

    Dress warmly and in layers! It is cold in the morning! The balloon ride was beautiful and we saw a lot of wildlife. Breakfast was abundant and delicious. This activity is well worth it if you have the time and transport. I hired a driver through Viator who picked me up from my hotel and returned me there afterwards.
