Soar Silently Over Pilanesberg

Drift into the dawn with Mankwe GAMETRACKERS’ hot air balloon safaris, launching from deep within the Pilanesberg National Park. As the first light spills over ancient volcanic hills and open savannah, your balloon rises quietly, accompanied only by the distant call of birds and the rustle of wildlife waking below.

This one-hour flight offers a rare, low-impact view of the bushveld from above—elephants, giraffes, and antelope often move undisturbed beneath your silent path. It’s an intimate, elevated way to experience one of South Africa’s most diverse and scenic reserves.

Your morning begins before sunrise with hot coffee and a safety briefing, followed by liftoff with experienced, bush-savvy pilots. Once you land, raise a glass of bubbly and enjoy a full breakfast at a private lodge inside the park—an iconic safari tradition.

Professional, passionate, and deeply rooted in the region, Mankwe GAMETRACKERS offers more than a flight—it’s an unforgettable connection to the wild from a perspective few ever see.
