Drakensberg Ballooning – Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Flights Over KwaZulu-Natal

Soar above one of South Africa’s most breathtaking landscapes with Drakensberg Ballooning. Offering scenic hot air balloon flights across KwaZulu-Natal, this unforgettable experience lets you take in panoramic views of the towering Northern Drakensberg and the rugged peaks of Giant’s Castle in the south.

Each journey begins at sunrise, the calmest and most magical time of day. As the balloon lifts gently into the sky, you’ll drift silently over rolling valleys, open plains, and dramatic mountain ridges. The peaceful pace allows you to truly take in the scenery, making it a dream outing for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone seeking a fresh perspective on this spectacular region.

For an added touch of adventure, Drakensberg Ballooning offers a Game Ballooning Package, launching from a private game farm where you may spot antelope, zebra, or other wildlife moving quietly below. This makes every flight unique and full of surprises.

Ideal for special occasions, these balloon flights provide a serene, unforgettable backdrop for engagements, anniversaries, and milestone celebrations. You can choose from shared or private flight packages, each including thoughtful extras such as a champagne toast and a delicious post-flight breakfast.

Whether you’re fulfilling a lifelong bucket-list dream or celebrating a once-in-a-lifetime moment, Drakensberg Ballooning delivers an extraordinary combination of tranquillity, beauty, and adventure high above KwaZulu-Natal’s most iconic landscapes.
