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.

Thanks for an unforgettable experience. - Brett
It was superb! We had a great time and made a memory for llife! The pilot Mark was great and very friendly. All the staff on the ground were equally great. Only one bit of constructive feedback - I think someone from overseas should pay the same price as someone resident in the SA. We have a some great pics - thanks again! - Chetan
It was wonderful. I wish it was longer. - Rachel
The whole experience was excellent. Ease of booking, communication transfers to launch site and the actual balloon flight. Well done to all concerned. Special mention for Tsepo who was an excellent ambassador for your brand and country! - David
We really enjoyed our balloon safari on the 27th of March. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that passed a little too soon. The serenity of the flight was quite incredible and the hour we were airborne passed a little too soon. The fact that the experience is tied in with a very hearty breakfast buffet and a leisurely drive through the park made it all the more amazing. Even though I do not have a picture of it on my phone, flying over a leopard was very special. In fairly close proximity to the leopard, we had a lioness and rhinos as well. Definitely a safari worth doing. I tried uploading images but kept getting an error message, and hence, I left them out, - Stephen
