Stellenbosch winelands

Nothing stirs the inner romantic or nostalgic sentiment quite like hot air ballooning. It also happens to be the world’s first successful passenger-carrying mode of flight!

On one of these breathtaking hot air balloon rides, South Africa opens up to you. You’ll enjoy spectacular views as you glide over the unparalleled surrounding beauty of the Cape Winelands. Suspended in a little wicker basket and skimming the treetops hundreds of meters above terra firma – you’re in for the adventure of a lifetime!

One of the most spectacular and visually distinctive activities, hot air ballooning is truly a once in a lifetime pursuit. Furthermore, drifting across the Cape Winelands just serves to enhance what is an already remarkable experience.

One of the tours available begins at picturesque sunrise on a farm in Stellenbosch. From a hot air balloon, Stellenbosch is even more memorable. Sail over the acres of Wineland and take in views that belong in an oil painting. For the perfect trip for two, enjoy an early-morning hot air balloon ride over Cape Town as it’s draped with dew.

Perfect photo opportunities await, but remember to put the camera down every now and then and just soak up the experience too!

Times of Hot Air Balloon Rides Cape Town

Departure for hot air balloon rides, Cape Town, begins at sunrise from Stellenbosch. The actual time of this will vary according to the season but it is important to factor in travel time from your accommodation to the Klein Joostenberg Farm.

Best Time to go for Hot Air Balloon Cape Town Specials

Your early morning take-off is a good start as the first hour of sunrise provides the calmest and most ideal conditions for a flight. However, the best time to enjoy a trip in a hot air balloon, Stellenbosch, is in the spring or summer months between September and March. Cape Town’s rainy season begins in May so it’s best to enjoy a hot air ballooning tour outside of this period.

Lifting upward hundreds of meters into the sky, the opportunity presents an endless array of photo-worthy sights. Enjoy Table Mountain views, Cape Town snippets and the carpets of vines across the Stellenbosch vineyards below.

After roughly 1 hour, your balloon will begin its descent to the landing site, where an effervescent glass of sparkling wine beckons, giving the crew a chance to pack up your balloon.

    Meine erste Fahrt mit einem Ballon war eine tolle Erfahrung. Es ist nicht ganz optimal planbar, weil das Wetter mitspielen muss. So hatten wir relativ viel Wind und dadurch viel Fahrt. Wir hatten aber ein super-gutes Gefühl, weil unser Pilot nach eigenen Angaben im Korb aufgewachsen war und von seiner Mutter daher Moses genannt wurde. 🙂

    We can recommend the tour. The organization and support was very good. Unfortunately, due to the weather, we were only able to see a small area around Stellenbosch. That was amazingly beautiful! It was great fun.

    Conrad and his team were excellent. We did go up a day late but respect safety, his knowledge and chill. Once up it was amazing to see so much. Coffee to start, champagne on landing and breakfast were great! Thank you to Conrad and his team, great way to celebrate a 21st!!
