Hot Air Ballooning with Oudtshoorn Ballooning - Oudtshoorn, Klein Karoo, South Africa


Experience - the unique sensation of Hot Air Ballooning in the Klein Karoo! This is one of the top tourism activities in Oudtshoorn in the Klein Karoo.


Drifting on a gentle breeze, you will enjoy a sense of peace and tranquility, enjoying the panoramic view of Oudtshoorn and the majestic Swartberg Mountain range, which will stay with you forever...


Hot Air Ballooning requires no special effort other than rising a little earlier than usual.
While you enjoy a cup of coffee – the Oudtshoorn Ballooning team will prepare the Balloon for the flight. Shortly before sunrise, you will join the pilot in the basket for take-off. The adventure begins when we gently float away in the crisp morning air! After approximately 45-60 minutes the crew will look for a landing spot and you can have champagne after landing, while the crew packs the balloon away. On returning to the launch site you will be treated to a buffet breakfast at the end of a memorable experience.


This is one experience not to be missed by any tourist or traveller visiting Oudtshoorn in the Klein Karoo of South Africa.
