Where they fly
Air to Air Africa flies from The Cradle of Human Kind; off of the banks of Lake Heritage; Valley Lodge and from Heia Safari, a private game reserve.
For large groups we can fly from a site of your choosing, if at all suitable be it your backyard or a field local to you.

Useful Info
All passengers must be capable of standing for the duration of the flight, and able to enter and exit the basket unassisted. A parent or guardian must accompany children under the age of 16. Passengers with health considerations accept the responsibility to consult a doctor before embarking on a balloon flight.

Clothing should be layered, (keeping in mind the early morning chill of dawn, the warmth of a flight, and the sunshine on landing). Walking shoes are a must as you will be landing in fields and climbing into baskets. Hats or caps are recommended. A camera and film to remember this event. Binoculars and even a Cell phone to call a friend or family!

Each flight is different. How high, how long, and where you’ll land no one knows! That is the joy of flight. But sooner or later you will have to land and, after Sparkling wine, our retrieval vehicles will be there to transport you back to the venue, where a well deserved breakfast awaits. The flights leave from Heia Safari Game Ranch on the banks of Lake Heritage, and are approximately one hour each. Depending on the size of the group, Air to Air Africa offer a number of flights ranging between single flights for up to 7 passengers from R1850 per person to single flights for groups of 8 to 16 passengers are R1800 per person.
Air to Air Africa offer flights for groups of 24 or more from R1750 per person. This experience is great for a team building experience, as the groups is split into two with the second group following in the passenger transport vehicles while the first group flies and swap on landing. The price for this is R1450 per person.
