Ballooning - SA - Midweek Flight

'Meeting the sun as it peeps over the horizon is just one of the great joys of ballooning. Even when the clouds hide the sun, the experience is lovely. Mystical even and ethereal. We can also do things that can't be done in other types of aircraft. Low-flying at low speed, for example, talking and joking sometimes with people on the ground, seeing wildlife close-up, and high-flying for uninterrupted 360?views. Furthermore, apart from perhaps a little rocking and rolling before take-off, your flight will be smooth. You won't get tossed around in the air, and you won't get air-sick. Guaranteed. Depending on wind speed, we fly up to about 30km in an hour and almost never back to where we took off from. To save a long walk back, our crew follow us with balloon trailers, help us pack up and take us to breakfast. Do we ever get lost? Well, sometimes, but because our pilots and crew carry detailed topographic maps, VHF and UHF radios, mobile phones and global positioning units (GPS), staying together is generally straight-forward. All our outings include sparkling wine, Belgian chocolates, orange juice and nibbles followed by cooked breakfast when we get back to town. During colder months, youll enjoy piping hot coffee, tea and/or mulled wine before breakfast. After your flight, you'll also receive a superb full-colour personalised flight certificate to prove to the world that, yes, you really did go hot air ballooning.'
