Balloon Safari in the Serengeti. Have you ever pondered what birds see when they soar overhead, or have you ever imagined looking down on a wide expanse of open wilderness? Serengeti Balloon Safaris can provide you all of that and more. Your experience will begin shortly before daybreak and ascend with the sun, taking you into the sky as the new day dawns. Your balloon will soar over the majestic Serengeti in delightful tranquillity.

Your skilled guide will take you to changing heights and through different layers of air as you go over regions of the Serengeti that no one else can see. Your balloon may fly low, brushing the tops of the grass at times, and then ascend to 1000 feet or higher at others.

While floating in serenity and admiring the breathtaking scenery, don’t forget to look down. One of the benefits of having a bird’s-eye view is that game may be seen from afar. It is not uncommon to encounter across members of the ‘Big 5’ as well as herds from the Great Migration. Keep an eye out for opportunities to use your distinct point of view. Although each balloon experience is unique, and you never know where the wind will take you, the balloon safari typically takes approximately an hour before your guide begins your descent.

Once your feet are securely on the ground, you will celebrate with a ‘champagne toast’ before proceeding to your bush breakfast. This is another memorable experience, as you dine in the same environment you just flew over. Animals may pass by as you have a well-deserved breakfast, which will prepare you for the rest of the day’s activities.

We absolutely adore the unique perspective provided by the balloon safari, and it is definitely not to be missed if you are visiting the Serengeti.
