Our Balloon Safaris take the Classic flight beyond traditional boundaries, and is the ultimate in game viewing experiences. Approximately 80% of our air balloon rides have sightings of at least two of the Big Five within the hour's flight. The balloon safaris launch from the heart of the Rhino and Lion Nature Reserve and usually cover a large portion of the Reserve before moving into the surrounding game reserves, offering guests unique game viewing and photographic opportunities.
The Reserve is conveniently located within the world heritage site 'The Cradle of Humankind', and is an approx. 30 min drive from Joburg and 40min drive from Pretoria.
