Rise before dawn for the most magical experience in the African bush — a hot air balloon flight over the Greater Kruger area. As the sun paints the sky in gold and crimson, you'll float silently over the canopy, watching elephants trudge to waterholes, giraffes nibble treetops, and herds of buffalo move across the plains below.
After approximately one hour aloft, you'll touch down in the bush for a champagne breakfast served on white linen in the middle of the wilderness. Your expert pilot shares stories of the bushveld while you toast to an unforgettable morning.
The adventure continues with a full 3-hour game drive through private reserves bordering Kruger, where your ranger tracks the Big Five. This combination of aerial and ground-level safari is the ultimate bucket-list experience.
