Join us on a once in a lifetime experience! We have Hot Air Balloon Safaris launching from the centre of Pilanesberg National Park.
Guests are collected early morning by a registered field guide, in an open safari vehicle from their respective hotels at Sun City Resort or lodges in Pilanesberg area. Day visitors can be collected from Bakubung Gate. The transfer through the park takes approximately an hour as the balloon launch site is situated in the center of the Pilanesberg National Park. At the launch site the guests will be met by the pilot and crew, who will proceed to give a briefing. Guests will then embark in a 1,2 metre high basket and commence on an unforgettable experience that lasts approximately 45 minutes to an hour. This will undoubtedly be the finest way of viewing the inhabitants of the Pilanesberg National Park. On landing, guests will be served with sparkling wine, orange juice and breakfast canapes. Each guest will receive a first flight certificate signed by the Pilot. After a mini game drive, guests will be returned to their respective hotels. The total duration of this activity is approximately ±5 hours.
VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE NOTE! This activity is extremely weather dependent and a minimum of 4 people are required for the flight to take place. It is advisable that guests book 2 or 3 consecutive mornings as a backup plan.

Our Balloon ride was one of the best experiences I have had! The pilot had us all relaxed and laughing. We never felt in danger and landing was perfect. I would highly recommend everyone to experience this ride! - Kuban-ivory
Our balloon safari was an experience of a life time. Seeing game from above is probably the best way to view elephant, rhino and giraffe to name a few. We felt safe and secure at all times. The pilot had a good sense of humour while being professonal. The staff were friendly and helpful. Pure excitement from beginning to end. - Cloete-Pal#340
