Hot Air Ballooning

South Africa's near perfect climate provides ideal conditions for hot air ballooning, a superb way of getting a birds eye view of the country side. Float over dramatic landscapes such as Magakliesberg Mountains, north west of Johannesburg , or soar over game reserves, viewing the wildlife below.

A popular trip is over the winelands followed by a romantic champagne breakfast.

This is the latest way to enjoy the wild beauty of the Kalahari Desert in Botswana.

Early morning and evening balloon rides are offered.

The morning ride starts at 5am and gives the photographers the chance to catch the clear light of the early morning sun and see the vastness of Africa stretched below them.

The evening trips catch the dramatic sun sets and the chance to Photograph the tens of thousands of flamingos feeding at the saltpans.

Serengeti Hot Air Balloon Safari is the ultimate way to view game in Tanzania. Take off from a Seronera location just as the sun rises. Then for approximately one hour you will drift quietly above the plains gazing at spectacular views of endless kopjes and with luck, see some great game. The overhead perspective gives a whole new experience to game-watching and many find this is the climax of their safari. On landing in the middle of nowhere, a Champagne-style' breakfast will be waiting, before you are driven slowly back to camp. Truly unforgettable.
