A balloon safari is a popular addition to your game drives and stay in the Serengeti or Tarangire National Parks. It is an adventure as the hot air floats gently in the direction of the wind, offering bird view and a different view over the amazing scenery and wildlife below.

The excursion starts early, with pick-up from your lodge and driving to the launch site before dawn; on the way you may see some nocturnal animals. Your balloon rises as the sun rises, and the flight takes about an hour of sheer excitement floating at varying altitude and at times climbing 1000 feet high or more. Children aged seven and above will also be allowed to participate in and enjoy the hot air balloon safaris. Relish the experience of a lifetime along with your kids if you decide to bring them along as well. After landing, enjoy a traditional champagne celebration and an Out of Africa breakfast prepared and served in the bush. Thereafter continue with the day’s planned activities.

Do note that the hot air balloon safari requires advance reservation and cancellation policy requires that you apply for cancellation at least seven days before the date of the safari.
