MORE INFORMATION
The flight begins just before sunrise. We will meet at the launch point for a cup of tea or coffee while the balloon is inflated. The pilot will give you a run down of the flight and what you can expect.
The pilot will take you to a height of about 2000 feet where you will have the opportunity to see the sun rise over the entire Kruger to Canyon biosphere reserve. IF you’re lucky you can spot a host of wildlife such as giraffe and hippo. The duration of the flight is one hour, which will be followed by a hearty breakfast near the landing site.
