Hot Air Ballooning - Hoedspruit, Central Lowveld!

In keeping with this weeks flow of Otter Den River Lodge and their offerings, I decided to save the best for last. This is just one of those things that you don't get to experience in life very often. If you're looking for a romantic experience or just a thrill seeking adventure, Hot Air Ballooning is for you.

Otters Den River Lodge

Every morning at sunrise, Otters Den sends the balloons off on their daily departure from several launch sites in the Hoedspruit area. This is one experience that you want to hop onto without a question.

Flights over the African Wilderness

Experience the magic of lighter than air flight over the Lowveld Big Game parks adjoining the Kruger National Park. This flight guarentees you views of the BIG 5, including game such as Elephant, Buffalo, Lion with herds of Zebra and Antelope. Trust me, it's something you don't want to miss.

Otters Den pilots and guides will ensure a safe, enjoyable and informative adventure that will be one of the highlights of your visit to Big Game country. Located near Hoedspruit and offering flights over Kapama Game Reserve and other lodges and game reserves that have suitable terrain this is the only Hot Air Balloon ride available in the Lowveld region.

Expectations

Meeting before sunrise, coffee is served while you watch your eight storey high balloon being inflated and prepared for flight. The pilot gives you a little safety briefing, but trust me while you're waiting for this balloon to get off the ground, the last thing you remember are the safety rules. You are airborne and alive just in time for the sun rise. This trip takes you over the landscape of the lowveld. After roughly an hours flight the pilot selects a suitable landing site where the retrieve crew should be in attendance. Sparkling wine and fruit juice is served after the flight.
