About this experience
Experience the unparalleled beauty of the Magaliesberg mountain range and the shimmering Hartebeestpoort Dam with a sunrise hot air balloon flight.

As the first light of day illuminates rocky koppies, meandering rivers, and patchwork farmlands, enjoy a tranquil drift through the sky, punctuated only by the gentle sound of the burner. This exclusive adventure is distinguished by highly skilled local pilots who customize each flight to optimize wind conditions and lighting, ensuring exceptional views and photographic opportunities. Small passenger groups guarantee personalized service and unobstructed vistas. Conclude your flight with a soft landing in a scenic field, followed by a celebratory toast and a commemorative certificate.

Hot Air Balloon Ride next to the Magaliesberg Mountains
Before dawn you’ll watch the crew inflate a blazing envelope, then rise smoothly in a wicker basket as the sun spills golden light over the Magaliesberg mountain range and the glittering Hartebeestpoort Dam. Below, patchwork farms, winding rivers and rocky koppies unfold while birds drift into view; the hush of the wind is punctuated only by gentle burner bursts. After a serene 60-minute float, you’ll land in a quiet field and toast the flight with champagne as the crew packs away the balloon.
