Here in Johannesburg we have been experiencing allot of rain in the afternoons. That said, the mornings have been sunny, wind-free, warm and fresh. This makes great weather for a balloon ride!!!
We have put together the details of a few balloon ride companies. It comes off a little expensive, but who can put a price on life long memories of fun in the sky!
