Lifting off a little past dawn and feeling the brisk morning air rushing over your face, is an excellent way to start our morning as you embark on one of the most exciting experiences of your life.

Hot air ballooning is one of the oldest forms of flight. This long heritage and closeness to nature that hot air ballooning brings then makes it ideal for flying near silently over wild game.

Air To Air Africa’s standard take off ground is in the Kromdraai area on the banks of Lake Heritage near Lanseria airport. The Cradle of Human Kind (as this area is also known) includes many game and nature reserves which we are able to fly relatively low and silently over.

As the flight lifts off you will not even feel the pull of gravity trying to keep you flat on Mother Earth; nor will you get a rush of excitement and adrenalin that feeling may come on landing which are always interesting, no matter how many times you fly Swooping initially low over the scrub and trees; you begin to get a little perspective as to how beautiful the environment that we live in actually is.

When the balloon comes in over a grazing herd of wild game, be it impala, rhino or wildebeest; they are not scared away as they would be with a normal aircraft such as a helicopter due to the low noise that a hot air balloon makes as it glides effortlessly in the air. The occasional punctuation of the burner doesn’t scare the game away either. The intimacy that you feel with nature as you observe from above is unmatched by any other form of flight.

Hot air ballooning over wild game and game farms is ideal for both young and old as every time you go up you see something different and experience something brand new. Whether you are taking the balloon ride out of curiosity, for the thrill of it or as many hot air balloon enthusiasts out of sheer enjoyment, hot air ballooning with Air To Air Africa is guaranteed to be the perfect flight for you.

Taking photos from a hot air balloon is particularly special. Taking in the view from the sky gives you a completely different perspective on the world below you and capturing this on film is the perfect way to remember your flight. With the rolling hills forming the backdrop and the herding game taking centre stage of your photo; the scene is set from your hot air balloon vantage point.
