At Sun Catchers Hot Air Ballooning, visitors can experience the magic of lighter-than-air flight near the foot of the Drakensberg Escarpment. The one-hour-long flights take visitors over the breathtakingly beautiful Lowveld section of the Blyde River, 15 km West of Hoedspruit. The terrain is a stunning mixture of grassy plains, rolling hills and patches of farmland, with the occasional koppie (hill) providing a picturesque backdrop. The experience is unforgettable, giving visitors once-in-a-lifetime views of the sweeping countryside. From up high, visitors can spot games and wildlife and take in the region's many vistas. Whether it's a romantic getaway for two or an exciting adventure with friends, nothing compares to the feeling of flying like a bird over the countryside in a hot air balloon.
