Why We Love This Unique Experience
Johannesburg Experience Gift: Enjoy a whole morning in Pilanesberg National Park as you balloon over the wildlife early at dawn and then enjoy some breakfast.
This experience gift makes for an excellent way to spend a morning. By travelling over the park in a hot air balloon you get the unique experience of seeing wildlife up close from above. Glide over the giraffes, elevate above the elephants, and rise up passed the rhinos, into the clouds and back. After spending around 45 minutes to an hour in the hot air balloon you'll come to land in the park where you'll be served sparkling wine, orange juice and breakfast canapes. Before you leave your pilot will sign a First Flight Certificate for you to keep! After all this, your field guide will take you to wallow bush for a filling full English breakfast, and the fun doesn't stop here as you'll get to embark on a mini game drive before your experience comes to an end.
This is a fantastic experience gift for animal lovers, adventurous types and those in need of something different.
