Bill Harrop's "Original" Balloon Safaris
If you're going to
do it - do it in unassailable style ...
Have you ever flown in a
balloon? It’s an amazing experience – It's sunrise. The
silence of flight is punctuated only by the occasional
blast of the powerful burners and the faint call of a
bird or animal far beneath. The thrill is indescribable.
You're
sipping fine champagne while hovering gently above the
tree tops of the beautiful Magalies River Valley, or
drifting majestically high above the Magaliesberg range,
just 45 km north of Johannesburg's northern suburbs, a
region boasting some of the best ballooning weather in
the world. The exceptional peace of this unique and
almost supernatural view of the world will forever
remain as a truly cherished memory.
After
landing, savour a delectable and generous champagne
breakfast at the new, traditionally exquisite and
beautifully appointed Clubhouse, Pavilion and
Restaurant, where you'll be filled with the warmest of
memories.
A fleet of
six large hot air balloons which can carry between six
and eighteen passengers each. So whether it is a
romantic balloon flight for 2, or a party for 18
adventurers in one of the biggest balloons in the world,
or a corporate adventure for 142, Bill Harrop's
"Original" Balloon Safaris is the preferred choice
for
safe, reliable, quality ballooning.
Professional pilots, attentive crew, immaculately
maintained equipment, 5 aviation safety awards, make
this longest established licensed Balloon Airline in
southern Africa the choice of the well informed
discerning individual traveller or corporate group.
Bill
Harrop´s "Original" Balloon Safaris has been operating
as a legally licensed balloon Air Transport Service since 1981.
It is a family business run by Bill Harrop, his wife Mary, son
Sam and daughter Sarah working in partnership with over 40 full
time, part time, contract and casual staff.
Groups
A hot air balloon flight is a perfect corporate
entertainment or team building activity. If you like,
you can arrange to have the ballooning launch site and
the base restaurant decorated with Company banners,
flags and bunting or displays. Flower arrangements
maybe? We also have electricity at the restaurant in
case you wish to operate any A.V. equipment. Live music
can be arranged from a harpist or a string quartet to a
real jumpin' jazz band.
If you wish, your
guests' tickets will have your company's logo
incorporated in the design. Our standard "Certificate
for Bravery" is, we think, very well written and
designed, but there is scope there for personalising it
for a company event. We can also arrange to have a
professional photographer or videographer available to
take souvenir pictures of all the activity before,
during and after the hot air balloon flight. Our launch
site is convenient enough for the access of a large tour
bus, and is big and safe enough to accommodate arrivals
of VIPs by helicopter.
