Tourism Guide Africa June - September 2018 Edition

a Lifetime Winter Special
T
Bill Harrop’s Balloon Safaris
Do it in unassailable style
he difference between a traditional
balloon safari which departs
at dawn, lasts about an
hour, preceded by tea, coffee
and biscuits and followed by breakfast,
and Bill Harrop’s ‘Original’ Balloon Safaris
is panache and “unassailable style”.
Flights depart from Skeerpoort in the
Magalies River Valley in the World Heirtage
Cradle of Humankind, an area
steeped in natural history and beauty
boasting some of the safest and most
reliable ballooning weather in the world.
Combine this with Harrop’s traditionally
exquisite and beautifully appointed Clubhouse
Pavilion and Restaurant situated
at the launch site, providing, comfort,
shelter and the opportunity to freshen
up in stylish facilities prior to the flight,
and you have a winning and lasting first
impression.
Having watched the balloons being set
up under floodlights against a backdrop
of the Magaliesburg mountains and with
a cup of coffee to counter the early start,
you board the balloon and prepare for
take off.
Whether in one of their three biggest balloons,
each able to carry up to eighteen
passengers, or in smaller craft, the silent
ascent and gentle flight punctuated by
the occasional blast of the burners and
some informative (and amusing) commentary
from Harrop’s highly experienced
and fully qualified pilots, makes
for an incredible and unforgettable experience.

After landing, whilst the professional and

Harrop’s Clubhouse Pavilion and Restaurant
where their food and beverage team
