The Private Four

Your Own Private Balloon. Your Own Pilot. Exclusively Yours.

There is something rather special about having the whole balloon to yourselves.

The Private Four is an exclusive hot air balloon experience for exactly four passengers. An entire balloon is reserved for your group, with your own dedicated pilot and absolutely no other passengers sharing the basket. This is not a shared balloon flight. It’s your own private sunrise experience above the beautiful Magalies River Valley.

R21,995 TOTAL | Your Own Private Balloon for Four

One private balloon. Four passengers. No other guests sharing your basket.

To qualify for The Private Four rate, the reservation must be booked, paid in full and flown during October or November 2026.

Your private hot air balloon safari

Your morning begins before sunrise at our private launch site in the beautiful Magalies River Valley.

Enjoy tea, coffee or hot chocolate and mini muffins while the balloon is prepared for flight, before climbing aboard your private balloon.

Once airborne, approximately an hour of ballooning awaits, with the direction and journey determined by the morning’s winds.

After landing, celebrate the flight with sparkling wine and orange juice before returning to our Clubhouse Pavilion for a full buffet breakfast.

Allow approximately three to four hours for the complete experience.

Just the four of you

The Private Four has been designed for groups who would like the intimacy and exclusivity of their own balloon.

It is ideal for:

• Families
• Four friends
• Two couples
• Birthdays and milestone celebrations
• Anniversaries
• A special occasion shared with your favourite people
• Guests who simply prefer the privacy of an exclusive balloon

Whether there is an occasion behind the flight or no occasion at all, the balloon belongs to your group for the morning.
