Named after the world’s most travelled dog, the Oscar Maximus hot air balloon landed at the historical Donkin Reserve on Monday, 07 May, 2012. Algoa FM presenters were there for a live broadcast, and the team from the Green Leaf Café made sure to keep them well stocked with coffee and tasty breakfast treats for the early morning broadcast.
The giant hot air balloon is modelled after the original Oscar – one of the world’s favourite globe-trotting, adventure-seeking and awareness raising dogs. In 2009, Oscar was the 2009 first dog to travel around the world, covering 200 000 kilometres in order to raise awareness of dog shelters, and dog adoptions. Oscar has gone 'walkies' on the Great Wall of China, survived crocodiles in the Zambezi River and kissed the Sphinx at sunrise.

Oscar Maximus weighs in at 262 kilograms, is 30 metres tall and consumes 50 000 grams of propane gas an hour!
Now, Oscar and his balloon pal are travelling across South Africa to teach people about proper pet care, and raise awareness of the benefits of animal adoptions.
The live broadcast with the Morning Show team and Oscar took place on Monday, 7 May between 06h00 and 07h00.
The Green Leaf Café was open from 06h00 for coffee and breakfast for early morning visitors.
