Air Ballooning Safari Experience from Johannesburg and Pretoria

5 hours (approximately)
Pickup offered
Offered in: English

You should go on a hot air balloon ride at least once in your life. It offers a tranquil and scenic experience like no other—the rustic vibes, the breeze, and the feeling of flight are immaculate!

Hot air balloons often happen in the wee hours of the morning when temperatures are cool and you witness a more spectacular sunrise on air and the wind conditions aren’t as strong as the rest of the day. Hot air balloon rides are sensitive to the weather, so if the wind is stronger than usual, they may be canceled for safety reasons.
It’s essential to book your trip in advance so you can assure you’ll have a spot. Wearing a hat or cap, especially when you’re near the gas jets, is highly recommended as It can get really hot there.
There are no fixed routes for hot air balloon rides, the pilot will follow where the wind condition is best, so you might wonder where will we get picked up after the flight? The touring company vehicles will follow up to pick you up from where you land.
