Hot Air Balloon Safaris Sun City

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

Take to the skies in a hot air balloon and look down on the wildlife and landscape of the Pilanesberg National Park near Sun City. One of the finest ways to see a national park and its wildlife is from a spectacular bird’s eye view, travelling in a hot air balloon. As you float above the Pilanesberg National Park you’ll see panoramic views of the ancient Pilanesberg mountains and enjoy the surrounding silence of the morning sky, punctuated only by the occasional blast of the burner.

This exhilarating safari experience comes with the promise of personalised attention, great photographic opportunities, awesome aerial game viewing and lifetime memories of the natural beauty of South Africa to treasure forever. You’ll get a unique view of the Pilanesberg National Park, which was once an ancient volcano and is now home to the Big Five. Declared a national park in the early 1970s, Pilanesberg has established itself as one of the most popular South African national park tourist destinations, its boundary bordering the world-famous Sun City resort.

Sun City and Pilanesberg are only a two-hour drive away from Johannesberg, South Africa. Hot air balloon flights flights are scheduled daily, depending on the morning’s weather.
