For an uplifting experience, try a hot-air balloon ride with Balloons over Africa. Based in Hazyview, the operators take off from the middle of the Sabie River valley and the gentle winds often propel the balloon east over some spectacular forest scenery. The flight lasts an hour and includes champagne on landing and a full breakfast at a nearby lodge.
