Flight 5 September 2010

What a SuNnY day!

Frank, Natacha, Meisie, Lucinda, Yvonne, Jenny, Cheryl and Eric were our latest adventurers, and flew with us on Sunday 5 September 2010.

The sun is creeping up on us earlier and earlier every morning. Our flight on Sunday took off at 6h10, and lasted for 1hr and 20mins. Mother nature had some fun with the Happy All Day balloon, her winds pushing it so slow at times that it seemed as if the balloon was hanging in the air like a Christmas Tree decoration.

Our guests had the opportunity to view wildlife in the surrounding area while the mountains were decorating their Horizon.

Even the landing felt like it took a lifetime. The Sun Fun balloon came back down to earth in typical South African slow motion style!

Thank all of you for flying with us, braving the smell of fresh cattle “poo” and landmines!

About

Let Sun Fun Africa Safari’s treat you to the 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!!

hot air balloon Johannesburg

We will take off, just outside the town of Magaliesburg. These picturesque lodges are situated in the beautiful valley surrounding Magaliesburg and is a mere 40 minutes drive from Johannesburg and Pretoria. Spoil yourself, your loved ones, colleagues or clients with an adventure they will never forget.

After your arrival, you will enjoy refreshments whilst being entertained by an experienced balloon crew inflating the balloon and preparing it for take off. Once your hot air balloon is ready you will board after which your pilot will brief you on what to expect. Soon you will be floating gently through the air, drifting over tree tops through the valleys drinking in the crisp, fresh atmosphere that accompanies the country surroundings whilst sipping champagne, forgetting about everything else as you relax and lower your stress levels.

After the hot air balloon flight you will be transferred back to the lodge for a scrumptious breakfast away from the hustle and bustle of city life. During breakfast you will be presented with a personalised certificate, the perfect momentum for an unforgettable experience. You can now continue your day enjoying all that the Magalies meander has to offer at your own leisure.

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 Pilanesberg you will be transferred into the park by gamedrive vehicle to the launch site where there will be ample opportunity to take photos. 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. You will now return to breakfast and receive your flight certificate.
