Johannesburg - It’s sunrise. The silence 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. Picture yourself sipping champagne as you hover gently above the tree tops or soar high above the mountain peaks. After landing, savour a delicious breakfast at our brand-new, exquisitely appointed Clubhouse Pavilion and Restaurant.
