GO Life Ballooning
Africa is the land with sensational sunrises, sunsets and an unforgiving terrain. Kilometres of panoramic vistas and breathtaking nature can pass under you while suspended in an open basket. Experience the beauty and tranquillity of our hidden valley not known to many and yet a mere 40 km from Pretoria on route to Cullinan. Relax and absorb the peaceful nature of the African cliffs and bush while brushing the trees with the basket and listening to the cobbling of the water in the stream below.
At Life Ballooning we live by five simple principles:

  • the sky is the limit
  • every flight is an unforgettable adventure
  • we put the life back into ballooning
  • we fly also smaller balloons to keep each flight more personal
 


After the ride of your life step back in time and experience the diamond rush of years gone by. Visit Cullinan - a humble village bursting with history that touched royalty and diggers alike.

  • We will await the passengers with steaming hot coffee/tee and rusks on arrival.
  • A 50 to 60 minute flight depending on a suitable landing spot.
  • We celebrate the balloon flight with a toast of champagne and orange juice during or after the flight.
  • A retrieve vehicle shall follow the balloon and return the passengers to the launching field.
  • Afterwards the passengers may relax and discuss the exciting flight over a hearty breakfast. Friends and family are most welcome to join the group for breakfast.
  • Every passenger will get will get a certificate as evidence of their experience that "the sky is the limit"
  • We try to make this a special experience and can provide extras like flowers, chocolates or a picnic on request
  • We endeavour to give a personal service to all our clients

Consider staying overnight in one of the guest houses and lodges in the area and taking in a mine tour the following morning after the balloon flight. Discover some of the many historical secrets of this area.

Should you have a specific request to fly at other locations or planned tours, contact us and we will give some ideas.
Parties of four and more may book every day but smaller parties are restricted to weekends and public holidays.
