Balloons Over Africa offers scenic hot air balloon flights in the beautiful Sabie River valley. Flights take place at sunrise while the air is still cool and stable, before the earth heats up. In windy, rainy or otherwise marginal conditions the pilot will postpone or cancel the flight – safety is the prime consideration – but generally flying conditions are good, and the cancellation rate is low. Balloon flights are offered all year round in this area.
The balloon floats over small hills and hidden valleys with distant views of the mountains and God’s Window. The views to the east are of the land gradually flattening out towards the horizon, with the Sabie River winding its way towards the sunrise. The vegetation is a mix of riverine forest, indigenous bush and fruit orchards, and the sub-tropical climate ensures that the area is green and lush almost all year round. This is a beautiful ballooning experience!
