Tom Morgan traveled nearly 16 miles across the countryside Monday at a height of 8,000 feet after spending two days filling the balloons with helium.
Describing the experience to the BBC as "unbelievably cool," Morgan also admitted feeling "somewhere between terrified and elated" as he rose in the air.
After several failed attempts in Botswana, Morgan made his final attempt in South Africa, just north of Johannesburg.
