Day 2
A day in the beautiful Cape Winelands of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek.
Explore the second oldest town in South Africa, Stellenbosch and walk down the canal-lined avenues, in the shade of giant oak trees and beautifully preserved historic buildings, cafes, boutiques and art galleries. Simon van der Stel - the Governor of the Cape Colony at the time - established the town in 1679 and the remaining Cape Dutch architecture gives a sense of this Dutch colonial history.
Travel over the Helshoogte Pass to the town of Franschhoek, which was home to the French Huguenots in the 17th century. Billed as the gourmet capital of South Africa, this charming town, in the most picturesque valley, retains a strong French Huguenot style represented in the longstanding architecture and lifestyle.
Enjoy wine tasting at picturesque wine estates that will leave you wanting to come back for more.

Day 7
Early morning wake up call and transfer to the Ballooning launch site (outside the reserve)
Meet before sunrise and coffee is served while you watch your eight-Storey high balloon being inflated and prepared for flight. After a safety briefing you should be airborne in time to witness the sunrise. The height above ground will vary between skimming the tree-tops to as high as 2 000 feet as the pilot changes altitude in search of favorable wind directions and speeds.
Experience the magic of lighter-than-air hot air balloon flight near the foot of the Drakensberg Escarpment. Enjoy a one-hour long flights over the scenic, Lowveld section of the Blyde River, 15 km West of Hoedspruit. The terrain is a mixture of farmland, private nature reserves and wildlife estates. The mountains to the South and West provide shelter from the prevailing winds, thereby affording us good flying weather on most days.
As the sun rises, the landscape, the vegetation and, if you're lucky, some wildlife will provide photo opportunities. Game spotting cannot be guaranteed but on most flights one can see plains game like giraffe and wildebeest. The pilot and crew will ensure a safe, enjoyable and informative adventure that will be one of the highlights of your visit to the Kruger to Canyons Biosphere.
After the flight, return to the lodge
