Hot Air Ballooning Accommodation Packages  > AMANZINGWE LODGE

35 km north of Johannesburg, 20 mins drive from the Skeerpoort balloon field.

This is a taste of Africa in its entire splendour. Tranquil, rustic beauty, gentle bird and animal sounds and luxury and comfort all combine to restore mind, body and soul. The Lodge falls within the area newly proclaimed as a World Heritage Site – The Cradle of Humankind.

It is a privately owned nature reserve that has a distinctly unique charm. On the estate there are about 120 animals, which include Zebra, Blue Wildebeest, Kudu, Gemsbok, Impala, Waterbuck, Red Hartebeest, Blesbuck, and Duiker. Jackals roam at night, Karakuls are often sighted and even Leopards tend to visit during the breeding season.

The suites are situated on the gentle slope leading towards the valley. Their thatched roofs and terra-cotta walls blend perfectly with the surroundings and the game roam freely among the suites. All of the suites have a sundeck for game viewing or gazing at the sunsets.

A selection of first class Lodges and Country Houses particularly recommended for a special evening getaway and prelude to a most memorably enjoyable Hot Air Balloon Safari the following morning.

After a comfortable night, you will travel to the Skeerpoort balloon field, just as the sun rises to soar gently over the majestic Magalies River Valley and surrounding mountains.
