Barossa Valley, Adelaide
Experience Australia’s premier wine region from a majestic hot air ballooning over Barossa Valley. The valley is located at 60 km/37 mi, about an hour's drive north east of Adelaide, South Australia.
Hot-air ballooning at the Mara is THE ultimate experience as you go over the diverse habitats of the Maasai Mara, the Mara River, forests, swamps and the African Savannah!!! Wildlife treats include the “Big Five”, the lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and the buffalo among other animals like the hippo, crocodiles just to mention but a few.
Normally the balloon flight starts very early in the morning between 6-6.30 am and would go a distance between 15 and 25 km (9-15 mi) depending on the wind conditions. If you happen to be at the Mara between the months July and October, then you get to experience the phenomenal “Great Migration” of over a million wildebeests together with a number of Zebras and gazelles!!!
