Discover Ballooning offers hot air balloon flights over Hartbeespoort Dam, the most popular area to go hot air ballooning in South Africa. With balloon flights daily, from the most picturesque balloon launch sites in the country, you are guaranteed the most memorable hot air ballooning experience available. Treat yourself to one of our exciting hot air ballooning packages, or spoil a loved one with a hot air ballooning gift voucher, followed by Discover Ballooning’s scrumptious champagne balloon breakfast.

We offer an unforgettable ballooning adventure while you experience total peace and tranquillity over some of the most splendid scenery our country has to offer, with nothing to disturb the peace but the occasional hiss of the balloon’s burners above you.

You will experience sunrise views of one of the most beautiful man made lakes in Africa, Hartbeespoort Dam, which lies at the foot of the Magaliesburg mountain range, almost a hundred times older than the Himalayas.

So you have booked your hot air ballooning adventure, the day is drawing closer, you cannot contain your excitement and you are wondering what to wear, what to bring and what to expect!

First of all, it is a very early start to the day. You will need to meet us on the launch site just before sunrise, but it is so worth it! You will be welcomed with hot chocolate and marshmallows, tea and coffee, and can enjoy an optional glass of sherry while the crew prepare the hot air balloon for inflation.
