This guy is taking adventure to new heights.

Tom Morgan soared the South African skies strapped to a camping chair lifted by 100 helium balloons. Per BBC News, the 38-year-old Bristolian spent two days inflating the balloons himself before his 15.5-mile solo flight over Johannesburg.

The adventurer tells BBC News that his trip was nothing short of "magical."

Following his successful voyage, Morgan told BBC News he soon hopes to create a helium balloon race competition in Africa.
