The safari version of the same private booking: a smaller balloon, two passengers only, and reserve country underneath rather than farmland.

A balloon is the quietest way to get above a reserve. There is no engine, and between burns there is no sound at all, so the ground below carries on much as it would with nobody watching.

Champagne, sunrise, and a pilot who will talk you through what is down there or leave you to it, whichever you prefer. The operator sells these for engagements, anniversaries and birthdays.

All sales are final and cancellations are not refunded.

  2. Game reserves of the Cradle of Humankind

    The flights run over several game reserves in the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site: rolling hills, open grassland with plains game, and winding rivers. The reserves are home to four of the Big Five, so sightings are possible, though not guaranteed. The balloon drifts with the morning wind. The meeting point is at a lodge in the Cradle of Humankind, about 30 minutes by road from Johannesburg and 40 from Pretoria.

  3. AirVentures Hot Air Ballooning

  4. Kromdraai Rd, Krugersdorp
