Competition Time Again | Ballooning + Hotel + Spa

You spoke and we are delivering. On Friday we asked readers whether they'd like another competition (as a follow-up on our win a flight competition with Mango Airlines), and we got such great responses that we're running another one today :) We've teamed up with our buddies at Cityslickere, and up for grabs is a Bill Harrop "Original" Balloon Safari as well as a 2-night stay & spa at the Indaba Hotel - it's been estimated to cost about R10 800. Oh yeah, there's also a second prize - see details below.

"Grand prize includes: (value R10 800)

• Two-night stay for two people at the 4-star Indaba Hotel in Fourways PLUS a full English breakfast

• African Rejuvenation Full Day Pamper Journey for two people at Mowana Spa

• Hot Air Balloon Flight and champagne breakfast for two people with Bill Harrop's "Original" Balloon Safaris

• Hotel, ballooning & spa is in Gauteng. Flights not included

Having been fortunate enough to enjoy a Bill Harrop hot air ballooning experience before, I can vouch that it is a magical experience, where you are looked after by a supremely competent pilot (a key ingredient to a safe ballooning experience).

Here's a photo from my Bill Harrop Hot Air Ballooning experience. Every moment is entrancing, suspended above the earth in tranquility, with nothing but the occassional hissing from the burners breaking the silence.

Below this next photo you can see their restaurant and the field where you take off from:

The bottom line: We asked on Friday whether anybody would like to have a new competition. Here are some of the responses from our wonderful readers:

"Thanks for a great newsletter and congrats to your winner! Competitions are wonderful - anything to do with Travel - flights are always welcome ! Thank you." Kind Regards, Sandy

"I definitely want you guys to come up with another competition. I think I only entered the win a Mango flight competition once, the reason behind that is because I really didn't believe that you guys were really serious about it, I mean who gets to be jetted off free of charge? I had an awesome experience with Mango airlines, being my first time flying. So I suggest that you bring the win a flight competition one last time-and I promise, this time I will believe you. Looking forward to another mangoliciously Mango flight competition." Regards. Siyabonga

"Great competition, I think the free tickets is a great idea….especially for the people like me (lol) that has never been on a plane before. Just no money to fly anywhere so hoping one day I will win tickets." Regards, Adele

"Very, very keen for another competition :-) Ha ha - I just had such a good giggle while on your Cruises from Cape Town page when 'Captein' started playing! Ha ha.Classic. A cruise up for grabs would be AWESOME!" Dalene

"I think you should run another free flights competition as nobody can afford flights these days. I tried so hard with this last competition because my mom is turning 87 this year and I so badly wanted her to go and see her other daughter in PE, flights there are so expensive from Durban it is virtually impossible to get there." Kind regards, Dawn

"Yes, please … more competitions. Mango flights as prizes will be perfect." Hettie

"We'd love to have another competition to enter! Yay, what a question. I am not too greedy when it comes to prizes, but Cape Town would be amazing! We don't get to see much of this awesome country. Cheers and keep on going :)" Cheryl
