Bill Harrop's Balloon Safaris
If you’re going to do it, do it in unassailable style with the acclaimed best in South Africa. Top class sunrise flights depart from Harrop's new traditionally exquisite and beautifully appointed Clubhouse Pavilion and Restaurant situated in the Magaliesberg River Valley.
It's sunrise. The silence is only punctuated by the occasional blast of the powerful burners and the faint call of a bird or animal far beneath. The thrill is indescribable. Picture yourself sipping champagne as you hover gently above the tree tops, or soar high above the mountain peaks. After landing savour a delectable breakfast.
Van Gaalen Cheese Farm
One of Skeerpoorts quintessential landmark, this lovely cheese farm is family run in 1994. Annelies Van Gaalen moved to Skeerpoort in 1990 from the Netherlands and saw the need to produce good cheese. Enjoy a lovely day out and lunch on the farm. Book in advance especially on weekends.
