Hot Air Ballooning in Johannesburg

The crisp quiet of a clear early morning, watching the sun rise lazily, a  glass of champagne in your hand, excitement and a sense of  adventure filling the air. You wait in anticipation, with the rest of your group. This is the beginning of a hot air balloon trip, with highly qualified pilots, and machines to match, Bill Harrop’s Hot air ballooning is the longest running and most experienced hot air balloon company in South Africa, with no less than 5 safety awards from the South African Aviation Safety Council.

The sense of well-being whilst standing in the basket of a hot air balloon as you look down at scenic countryside, the cradle of humankind, the magnificent Magaliesberg mountain range and the fast flowing Magalies river is indescribably peaceful and exhilarating at the same time. Landing back at the hot air balloon base, approximately one hour after take-off, sit back and enjoy a five star champagne breakfast, before being taken back to your hotel.

The climate in Johannesburg is perfectly suited to be able to go hot air ballooning at any time of the year, but bookings should be made at least two weeks in advance.  There are two other companies who offer hot air ballooning, namely Air to Air Africa, as well as Flying Pictures, who are in Muldersdrift.
