Otters Den River Lodge and Hot-Air Ballooning

Every morning at sunrise, our balloons depart from launch sites in the Hoedspruit area. Come aboard for the experience of a lifetime. Drift over the Lowveld Big Game areas adjoining the Kruger National Park. Our pilots and guides will ensure a safe, enjoyable and informative adventure that will be one of the highlights of your visit to Big Game Country. ‘In that silent realm, far from the mischief and toil of society, all one hears is the urgent breathing of the wind and, now and then, an inspiring gasp of hot air.’ (Diane Ackerman, ‘Traveling Light’, op-ed in The New York Times, 11 January 1997)
