The Experience
Hot air ballooning is the oldest form of manned flight.
Experience the awesome thrill and peaceful serenity of hot air ballooning. Today
the hot air balloon is a magical slow moving platform from which to view the
world. Hot air balloon flights are offered principally on the edge of the
Drakensburg mountains in the South East of South Africa, just inland from Durban
in Kwazulu Natal, South Africa. The hot air balloon take-off is from a site in
or around the Kamberg Valley and within sight of Giants Castle.
You will meet at the hot air balloon launch site approximately 30 minutes before
sunrise, your pilot will then give you a safety briefing. Once the hot air
balloon is heated and you are in the balloons basket you will enjoy a flight of
around an hour. After helping to pack the hot air balloon you will return to a
location close to take off point for an Alfresco breakfast and Champagne.

safety, comfort and a superb view. The hot air balloon baskets are about 42
inches (1.1 metres high), and have footholds to assist entry. Children under 12
must be accompanied by an adult on the flight and should be tall enough to see
over the basket sides!
In the event of a flight being cancelled due to bad weather, if the guests elect to cancel rather that reschedule their flight, 15% of the full payment will be withheld towards travel expenses from Gauteng.
