Aerial photography is considered a great art. However for those who have not perfected the technique but enjoy snapping away anyway, hot air balloon rides are a great way to capture some of the most impressive images.

Air to Air Africa, based in the Cradle of Humankind offers hot air balloon rides over a World Heritage Site, off the banks of Lake Heritage, at Heia Safari, a private game reserve. This leisurely flight above tree tops and over wildlife offers all guests the opportunity to not only enjoy the view but remember it through their aerial photography.

Hot air balloon rides allow guests to dwell in the beauty of the panoramic view. Early morning lift offs provide not only the stillness of day but during the warm summer months, the sunrise illuminates the skies allowing for the perfect aerial photography. Together with the breathtaking view, photographers, no matter the caliber, have the chance to snap away from one of the most glorified photography positions. Shadows and reflections of the hot air balloon will certainly pose as an intriguing addition to an already somewhat magnificent experience.

Guests are able to enjoy their hot air balloon flight as they fly slowly over the landscape, admiring the wild life below. Amongst many different varieties of birdlife, there are a large amount of animals to photograph and admire over the great heights of Heia Safari.

Lake Heritage brings with it many different species of birdlife. Although hot air balloon rides may be a little too high up to get a good enough view of the birds, binoculars and cameras are a great help. Seeing the wonders that lie below from such a different perspective allows guests to enjoy the hot air balloon ride even more.  Aerial photography offers the chance for guests to take their experience home with them and share with others.

Air to Air Africa also offers large groups of guests the chance to fly to over an area of their choice. If there is enough space to lift off from and land, hot air balloon rides can be personalized to suit the group of flyers.
