Hot air ballooning in the Drakensberg offers an experience of beauty and serenity, a rare opportunity to observe the interplay of light and shadow on one of South Africa’s most iconic landscapes.
As the balloon ascends, the vastness of the Drakensberg mountains unfurls beneath you, their rugged peaks softened by the morning light. Champagne Valley, with its sweeping vistas and verdant landscapes, becomes a canvas painted in shades of green and gold, punctuated by the deep blue of mountain shadows.
The Midlands, provides a contrasting yet equally enchanting perspective. Here, the landscape is a gentle mosaic of fields and rivers interspersed with quaint homesteads.
The experience goes way beyond the actual flight. The early morning wake up heightens the anticipation, sharing coffee, nervous laughter and camaraderie with fellow passengers as you watch the spectacular show of the balloons being inflated, enjoying a delicious breakfast and stories after landing…a perfect blend of thrill and tranquillity.
Ballooning with our friendly and professional team in these spectacular regions of South Africa will be the highlight of your South African adventure!
