If you're
going to do it - do it in unassailable style
It's
sunrise. The silence of flight is punctuated only by the occasional blast of
the powerful burners and the faint call of a bird or animal far beneath. The
thrill is indescribable.
You're
sipping fine champagne while hovering gently above the tree tops of the
beautiful Magalies River Valley, or drifting majestically high above the
Magaliesberg range, just 45 km north of Johannesburg's northern suburbs, a
region boasting some of the best ballooning weather in the world. The
exceptional peace of this unique and almost supernatural view of the world
will forever remain as a truly cherished memory.
After
landing, savour a delectable and generous champagne breakfast at Bill
Harrop's new, traditionally exquisite and beautifully appointed Pavilion and
Restaurant, where you'll be filled with the warmest of memories.
Professional pilots, attentive crew, immaculately maintained equipment, 5 aviation safety awards, make this longest established licensed Balloon Airline in southern Africa the choice of the well informed discerning individual
traveler or corporate group.

Clothing:
Warm winter clothing is essential to keep you warm for the coldest part of
the day at sunrise, once you take off the sun, excitement and probably the
champagne will soon warm you. Closed walking shoes (no high heels or open
sandals) are recommended.
