Ons het as gesin saam op die lugballon trip gegaan omdat ons as gesin baie lief daarvoor is om saam nuwe goed/ “adventures” te doen. Dis die tye wat ons mekaar weer vind en nog beter leer ken. Ons het dit ook gedoen omdat dit my ouma se 87ste verjaarsdag geskenk was en het besluit om saam te gaan omdat jy een keer in ‘n leeftyd dalk die geleentheid mag kry. Dit is vir ons as gesin baie belangerik om dinge en veral nuwe dinge saam te doen, omdat ons die ondervindings en ervarings met mekaar kan deel.Gesinswaardes en familie tyd is vir ons baie belangerik. Ons gryp die geleenthede as gesin aan omdat ons nie weet of ons dit weer gaan kry nie en ook omdat ons weet die lewe is kort. En ook omdat my ouers se dit is glad nie dieselfde om sonder ons kinders te gaan nie, want ons maak dit nog lekkerder. Dit was heerlik! Almal se diens was uitstekend en het ons regtig baie welkom laat voel toe ons daar aan gekom het. Ons beveel dit regtig aan, aan gesinne, families, vriende ens. om te gaan en dit te geniet. Die “champange” en die ontbyt na die tyd was baie lekker en ons kon die ander mense ook leer ken.
Ons wil regtig baie dankie se aan tannie Eleanor (Organiseerder) en oom Mervin (vlieenier) wat vir ons die dag baie spesiaal en lekker gemaak het, Ons waardeer dit regtig baie.

There’s something in a flying horse,
There’s something in a huge balloon.

LET US TREAT YOU TO AN EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME BY LIFTING YOUR SPIRITS UP IN THE AIR ALLOWING YOU TO BECOME ONE WITH NATURE IN A ROMANTIC HOT AIR BALLOON FLIGHT!!
What to Expect….
This adventure calls for some early rising as you are expected to meet at your flight venue one hour before sunrise. This is when the air is most stable and the winds are calm, ensuring a tranquil flight. At our Magaliesberg venue you will be enjoying some refreshments and taking pictures whilst watching the balloon being inflated. After about half an hour the pilot will call on you to board.
The flight will last approximately one hour. At the landing point, the balloon crew will pack the envelope and the basket whilst sparkling wine is being served.
The flight is R1990 per person and will include the following:
Refreshments on arrival
One Hour Flight
Sparkling wine/Orange Juice on landing
Transfer back to lodge
Full Country Buffet breakfast
First flight certificate

The winds have welcomed you with softness,
The sun has greeted you with it’s warm hands,
You have flown so high and so well,
That God has joined you in laughter,
And set you back gently into
The loving arms of Mother Earth.
— Anon, known as ‘The Baloonists Prayer,’ believed to have been adapted from an old Irish sailors’ prayer.
Private hot air balloon flights available, please email or phone us for a quotation
The private hot air balloon flight has all the fun… just more privacy

Like a shamanistic language, flight speaks in different idioms. We can blast rockets to the stars. We can race across the sky on fixed wings. Ballooning appeals because it is more languorous and low-tech; it’s adventure in an antique mood.
What a treat to stroll through the veils of twilight, to float across the sky like a slowly forming thought. Flying an airplane, one usually travels the shortest distance between two points. Balloonists can dawdle, lollygag, cast their fate to the wind and become part of the ebb and flow of nature, part of the sky itself, held aloft like any bird, leaf or spore. In that silent realm, far from the mischief and toil of society, all one hears is the urgent breathing of the wind and, now and then, an inspiring gasp of hot air.
— Diane Ackerman, ‘Traveling Light,’ op-ed in the ‘New York Times,’ 11 January 1997.

I have known today a magnificent intoxication. I have learnt how it feels to be a bird. I have flown. Yes I have flown. I am still astonished at it, still deeply moved.

Suddenly the wind ceased. The air seemed motionless around us. We were off, going at the speed of the air-current in which we now lived and moved. Indeed, for us there was no more wind; and this is the first great fact of spherical ballooning. Infinitely gentle is this unfelt motion forward and upward. The illusion is complete: it seems not to be the balloon that moves, but the earth that sinks down and away…
Villages and woods, meadows and chateaux, pass across the moving scene, out of which the whistling of locomotives throws sharp notes. These faint, piercing sounds, together with the yelping and barking of dogs, are the only noises that reach one through the depths of the upper air. The human voice cannot mount up into these boundless solitudes. Human beings look like ants along the white lines that are highways; and the rows of houses look like children’s playthings.”
— Alberto Santos-Dumont, ‘My Air-Ships,’ New York, The Century Company, 1904.
