Hot Air Balloon Safari

Sun City

Activity Description

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 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, orange juice and breakfast canapes. Each guest will receive a first flight certificate signed by the Pilot. After a mini game drive, 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 are required for the flight to take place. It is advisable that guests book 2 or 3 consecutive mornings as a backup plan.

Excellent experience in Sun City surrounding - Fernando


Se love it! The balloon fly is amazing and the landing our pilot provide, just on the back of the truck was awesome! Such a great time!! - Gomes-pal#243


The balloon ride was a great experience from pick up to drop off. Mankwe collected us in the morning and took us the the balloon site, showing us some of the animals along the way. The flight itself was great as the captain clearly explained where we were flying and pointed out different animals and parts of the park to us. The views were breathtaking as the sun came up and we felt safe at all times as the captain clearly explained what was happening. Would definitely do this again and thanks for a great trip! - Cameron


The whole experience from stat to finish was perfect! I will tell you that you may not be selling many photos and video packages as we tried on several occasions to make the online purchase of the photos and I wouldn't allow us to, we tried several times with several different credit cards. You had better have someone look into this! - Darin
