Why SA is ideal for Hot Air Ballooning
There are a number of places on earth where hot air balloon flights are a memorable experience but in South Africa – ballooning is simply magical. The allure of Africa attracts visitors from far and wide on a yearly basis. The main reason for this is the abundance of wildlife, supreme natural beauty and a vibrant atmosphere with loads of culture. If you are a big fan of safaris and sightseeing, then let us tell you that there is almost nothing like seeing the best of Africa from high up in the air.
Here are just some of the reasons why South Africa is considered a premier location for hot air balloon rides:
- Climate:
Nobody enjoys being covered in layers of thick clothing while gliding through the air in the dark. South Africa has the perfect climate for hot air ballooning, with moderate winds and warm, sunny conditions. This allows you to enjoy a renowned African sunrise while you slowly ascend and the sun will keep your bones nice and warm for the rest of the journey.
- Sights:
Flying over lakes and cities can be a unique experience, but observing wildlife below as they continue with their daily lives is something few people are privileged enough to see. Added to this, South Africa’s mountainous terrain and lush bushveld just makes it even better.
- Variety:
South Africa is amazing simply because it always keeps you guessing. Not only is each part of South Africa visually different, but the lifestyle of locals also differs. This means that you are treated to a rich cultural experience wherever you go, with the only shared trait being friendliness.
- Excellent pricing:
In South Africa, you really do get more bang for your buck. Your balloon experience will get you coffee/tea on arrival, a one hour flight, sparkling wine and orange juice on landing, a flight certificate and a delicious full buffet breakfast which you can enjoy while you go over the details of your journey.
