“My husband & I & our 2 girls did this activity on 26th January 25. It was such a wonderful experience. The weather was perfect & NP was beautiful, green & lush. We saw Lions, elephants, zebras, hippos, rhinos & lots of other animals. The pilot was absolutely brilliant & so informative. All staff involved were fantastic. And to add to the already wonderful morning, the full buffet breakfast was delicious & plentiful. The whole experience was just amazing & we would highly recommend to anyone considering this activity! It is a must do!!!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 8 reviews · 10 hours · from $635

Hot air balloon over Stellenbosch, then guided tastings at Lanzerac, Delaire Graff, and Dieu Donne, plus Stellenbosch and Franschhoek.

“Our private guide,Kevin, didn’t want to be there, and it made the experience less pleasant. The hot air balloon ride, however, was magical—an absolutely amazing experience. The team running the activity was outstanding; everything was meticulously organized to ensure we had an exceptional time.

7.Johannesburg: Hot Air Balloon Flight

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 5 reviews · from $360

Hot air balloon over the Magaliesberg in South Africa. 60-minute flight, sparkling toast, and champagne breakfast in Gauteng.

“Loved, loved, loved our Hot Air Balloon flight! The early pickup time had me questioning whether this was really worth it, but it was soooo worth it. Our pilot was great in explaining how everything would work and the views were amazing. This was the one of the best parts of my trip to Johannesburg. As if the thrill of being in a hot balloon and beautiful views weren't enough, after our flight we had a champagne toast and a full breakfast with lots of options for everyone. Definitely a great way to wrap up the activity. I would definitely recommend.”
