Our Balloon Safaris take place over several Game Reserves within the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site. Rolling hills, large open grasslands scattered with plains game, and winding rivers, together lay the setting for a diverse array of wildlife sightings from the hot air balloon. Our air balloon rides over the Reserves of the Cradle of Humankind, home to four of the Big Five, have a good chance of spotting these iconic animals of Africa. Drifting gently with the winds of the morning our balloon safaris offer guests unique game viewing and photographic opportunities, making for a very memorable experience. Our meeting point is conveniently located at a luxury lodge within the Cradle of Humankind, and is an approx. 30 min drive from Joburg and 40min drive from Pretoria.

I could this over and over and over again. Cool and relaxing experience. The hotel where breakfast was hosted was equally breathtaking and relaxing. I most certainly will do this again except meeting the 3.30am pick up time was meh.

Amazing views from above, would definitely do it again! The team at AirVentures were impeccably professional. Punctual, organised, knowledgeable and they created a very fun carefree but safe environment. Would highly recommend the experience. It bodes well when people are passionate about their profession. Great showmanship from the team.

An amazing experience and extremely safe. The crew and Captain are very patient and provide a lot of information. The sunrise is breathtaking and the Captain plans it just right as we rise above the hills to capture it. Highly recommended

Our hot air balloon pilot, Ianthé Honiball, a young South African, was waiting for us in the lobby. We got signed in and waited for the other passengers. Finally, around 5:00 am we piled into a van and headed to the field from where the balloon was to take off. The support crew had already started prepping the balloon and within 15 minutes it was time for us to load up. The Cameron Balloon for 8 passengers apparently holds 250,000 cubic feet of air, which takes into account the temps, combined weights of the passengers and pilot, wind speed, and the lift needed. Once our pilot was certain everything was per calculation, she gave the green signal that it was time. Ianthe is an excellent pilot and took the time to give us a running commentary on what she was doing. She even allowed us to pump hot air, as needed. We were aloft for about an hour over beautiful country, which is home to some zebra, impala, and other herbivores, along with farms and ranches. We ranged in altitude from around 4,000 feet to a bit over 5,000 feet. I made the observation that it was tranquil and peaceful to be aloft, which the pilot and others agreed. It was really cool to see Ianthe coordinate with her ground crew to find the spot to land. She had prepped us on how we had to crouch as we landed, which she nailed perfectly! After the landing, per hot air balloon tradition, we got to partake of champagne and got our certificates!

This was an amazing experience! I considered this a must do activity if you are in Joburg or its surrounding area. The other commenters didn’t disappoint, the flight was amazing, the pilots were so nice and informative and the VIEWS!! So beautiful, from start to finish. The breakfast at the lodge was delicious. It’s rather cold in the morning so I would suggest that you dress appropriately. I would do this activity again!

We had an absolutely amazing experience on our safari balloon flight! Our pilot, Té, was not only highly skilled but also funny and engaging, which made the journey even more enjoyable. Floating quietly over the landscape was breathtaking, and we were lucky enough to spot several animals—including rhinos! The landing was smooth and followed by a lovely treat: a refreshing mimosa and a delicious breakfast. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. Highly recommended!

Perfect weather which included a perfect sunrise. Our female pilot did an excellent job. She was able to land the large passenger basket on the trailer. Very knowledgeable and professional.

Allround amazing. We had a very experienced pilot, who also explained the dynamics of the wind that allows ballooning, in a humourous way, while we could gaze at the views and enjoy wonderous animal spotting. Thank you Marc!
