The Experience of your First Balloon Flight
Air Balloon History
The Montgolfier Brothers launched the 1st people in a hot air balloon on 19 September 1783 in Versailes. Little has changed since then with warm oxygen balloon businesses all round the world still practicing the old traditions of ballooning.
Eddie Jacobs started Oxygen to Oxygen Africa as a commercial hot fresh air balloon operation in 1999. His wife Sheree Jacobs joined the corporation in 2004. With 3 large commercial balloons developed around the safety in the people, Fresh air to Fresh air Africa has maintained a 100% security record to date.
Hot air Balloons Description
All the baskets are double T shaped with two compartments either side from the Pilots Cockpit, which hold 4 gas cylinders as well as the quite limited aviation equipment necessary for any hot air balloon flight. Fresh air to Fresh air Africa will try and keep all partners together and meet with your individual special requirements.
Passenger arrangement can all be set up as follows:
Two per compartment up to 8 guests
Three per compartment up to 12 passengers
Four per compartment as much as 16 people
Location Information
Individual guests are able to join a group balloon flight 30 minutes before sunrise at the Heia Safari Game Ranch within the Cradle of Humankind approximately 35km from Johannesburg.
Oxygen to Fresh air Africa have a number of launch-sites obtainable from the “Cradle” to ensure that the pilot may perhaps pick the greatest website as soon as he has a current aviation forcast in the upper wind for that specific day. We may perhaps also launch the balloon on the banks of Lake Herritage, a man made lake 2.5 km long with a stunning waterfall flowing into the Crocodile River.
Flight Details
Regardless of where we take off or exactly where we land, the chance to interact with wild life is feasible whilst having breakfast at Heia Safari. The giraffe will come to greet you at reception even though the Zebra drink from the swimming pool along with the buck roam the grounds on the Ranch.
All flights include tea/coffee prior to an hour flight, and sparkling wine and / or orange juice on landing wherever that might be. As soon as you’ve landed safely you will probably be transported back to the venue for a buffet style breakfast where by you will be awarded your commemorative certificate. Duration of this excursion is 3-4 hours.
Within the winter when the ground takes longer to heat up along with the wind are a lot more stable we can offer team building, corporates and product launches, a double hop flight. Groups of 16, 20 or 32 is going to be divided into two, for a 30-45 minute flight. The second group follows the 1ast group swopping over on landing. Unfortunately this really is not advisable in summer as the 2nd group may not get to fly if the winds pick up during the initial flight.
Air to Oxygen Africa will bring the balloon(s) to a venue of your choice if at all suitable. This really is only offered to a minimum of 8 people. There may possibly be an additional cost for the transport and accommodation of the pilot crew and balloon(s).
