Enjoy sweeping aerial vistas from the basket of a hot air balloon

Just because human beings aren't equipped with wings doesn't mean we should be denied sweeping aerial vistas which are the norm for our avian friends!

Floating over the country in a hot air ballooning has become one of the most popular ways to take in South Africa's extraordinary natural beauty.

The organizers of one such trip promise "you will drift with the wind, hovering gently over the tree tops or soaring high among the clouds" as you float over the gorgeous Magalies River Valley, Hartbeespoort Dam or the Magaliesberg Mountain Range.
