About Us

If you're going to do it, do it in unassailable style.

It's sunrise. The silence is only punctuated by the occasional blast of the powerful burners and the faint call of a bird or animal far beneath. The thrill is indescribable. Picture yourself sipping champagne as you hover gently above the tree tops, or soar high above the mountain peaks. After landing savour a delectable breakfast at our brand new, exquisitely appointed Clubhouse Pavilion and Restaurant.

Whether it is a romantic flight for 2 in a small private balloon, or a party for 18 adventurers in one of the biggest balloons in the world, or a corporate adventure for 142, Bill Harrop's "Original" Balloon Safaris is the preferred choice for safe, reliable, quality fun.

Professional pilots, attentive crew, immaculately maintained equipment, 5 aviation safety awards, make this longest established licensed Balloon Airline in Southern Africa the choice of the well informed discerning individual traveller or corporate group.

Consider dinner and overnight at one of our top-class Select Ballooning Lodges the night prior to flying.

Game Viewing Balloon Safaris are also available at Entabeni and Mabula Private Game Reserves.

A top class "must do" for an unforgettable South African experience.
