Join us on a once in a lifetime experience! We have Hot Air Balloon Safaris launching from the centre of Pilanesberg National Park.
Guests are collected early morning by a registered field guide, in an open safari vehicle from their respective hotels at Sun City Resort or lodges in the Pilanesberg area. Day visitors can be collected from Bakubung Gate. The transfer through the park takes approximately an hour as the balloon launch site is situated in the center of the Pilanesberg National Park. At the launch site the guests will be met by the pilot and crew, who will proceed to give a briefing. Guests will then embark in a 1,2 metre high basket and commence on an unforgettable experience that lasts approximately 45 minutes to an hour. This will undoubtedly be the finest way of viewing the inhabitants of the Pilanesberg National Park. On landing, guests will be served with sparkling wine and orange juice in celebration of the flight. The field guide will then convey the guests through the Pilanesberg National Park to the Wallow bush venue, where a full English breakfast will be enjoyed. Each guest will receive a first flight certificate signed by the Pilot. On completion of breakfast, guests will be returned to their respective hotels. The total duration of this activity is approximately ±5 hours.
VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE NOTE! This activity is extremely weather dependent and a minimum of 4 people is required for the flight to take place. It is advisable that guests book 2 or 3 consecutive mornings as a backup plan.

Highly recommend. Captain was awesome! Ride was smooth and champagne and breakfast also wonderful. - Nancy
It was an absolute magical experience, from our pick up at the lodge until the drop off it was amazing. Have no words to describe it, we did it as a family outing and we all enjoyed it to the max. When we were in the air we spotted leopards and even after the landing they tried to bring us to the place. After that we had champagne and breakfast. - Renate
