Hot Air Ballooning Adventures

Elevate your getaway with an unforgettable hot air ballooning experience, just a short drive from our lodge! Imagine drifting peacefully above some of the most breathtaking landscapes our country has to offer, with only the gentle hiss of the burners to accompany the tranquil silence.

Your adventure begins just before sunrise, setting the stage for a truly magical flight. Enjoy hot chocolate and marshmallows, or coffee and tea, as the crew expertly prepares the balloon for inflation. You're welcome to get involved and learn fascinating facts about hot air ballooning from your pilot or an experienced crew member.

Flights typically last between 1 hour and 1 hour 20 minutes, offering ample time to soak in the panoramic views. On a clear day, your pilot will point out landmarks across the Hartbeespoort Dam area, and you might even catch glimpses of Johannesburg and Pretoria in the distance. Upon landing, celebrate with a traditional champagne toast and cold beverages while the crew packs up. Afterwards, you'll be transported back to the Windmill Restaurant for a delicious and well-deserved breakfast.

This truly is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, creating memories that will last forever.
