Experience the magic of lighter-than-air flight

Enjoy one-hour-long flights over the scenic Lowveld section of the Blyde River. The scenery is comprised of farmland and private nature reserves at the foot of the Drakensberg Escarpment. This escarpment forms a natural amphitheater, providing shelter from the winds. This means that this particular area offers the very best in terms of safety, accessibility, and scenic views

A wonderful ballooning experience in the beautiful Champagne Valley. Let our professional and highly experienced team fly you up close to the Drakensberg mountains.

Experience the Finest Ballooning that South Africa has to offer with loads of colour, fun and in the company of highly experienced crew. Maybe it has something to do with the curves of the earth, but looking down from a hot air balloon makes one feel very small. Early morning, sunrise, the incredible silence is only occasionally interrupted by the blast of the burner and the occasional shrill cry of a bird.

The excitement is incredible as you float above the earth with the majestic Drakensberg on the horizon.

Wild animals you might spot is Giraffe, Kudu, Zebra, Wildebeest and many others.
