Here at AirVentures, we offer breathtaking flights that showcase this UNESCO World Heritage Site in a way that few get to experience.

Why Choose a Hot Air Balloon Ride as a Christmas Gift?

1. Memorable and Unique
Forget predictable gifts that get forgotten by New Year. A hot air balloon experience creates a lasting memory. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of floating silently over scenic landscapes as the sun rises, painting the horizon in rich colours.

2. Suitable for All Ages
Whether it's a romantic morning flight for two or a family adventure, a hot air balloon ride is a safe, serene, and thrilling experience for everyone. Our flights welcome a wide range of guests, from children as young as 7 years old to older adults, making it an inclusive activity.

3. A Gift of Natural Beauty
Imagine gifting someone the chance to view the Cradle of Humankind from above—a place rich in history and natural beauty. The bird’s-eye view allows passengers to appreciate the landscape and wildlife in a unique and peaceful way.

What Makes the Cradle of Humankind So Special?

The Cradle of Humankind
Located just 50 kilometers northwest of Johannesburg, the Cradle of Humankind is famous for its historical significance. Known as one of the richest fossil sites in the world, this area is where some of the oldest hominid fossils were discovered. Flying over this land brings you close to human history and evolution.

Breathtaking Scenery
During a hot air balloon ride here, you’ll witness rolling hills, rich grasslands, and rivers winding through the land. On a clear day, you might even catch a glimpse of the Magaliesberg mountains in the distance, along with some of Africa’s iconic wildlife—possibly even three of the Big Five!
