SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL

A selection of first class Lodges and Country Houses in South Africa that are particularly recommended for a special evening getaway, and a prelude to a most memorably enjoyable Balloon Safari the following morning.

Sunset cocktails on summers evenings, or in the welcome warmth of a log fire in winter. Dinner of choice country fare accompanied by fine wines will be an occasion to remember.

After a comfortable night, you will be woken in time to dress and travel to the Skeerpoort ballooning field of Bill Harrop´s "Original" Balloon Safaris, just as the sun rises to soar gently over the majestic Magalies River Valley and surrounding mountains.
