Gracefully and silently flying over the plains teeming with herds of wild life in the crisp early morning sunshine, it is easy to understand why a balloon safari is the most romantic and evocative way of experiencing the wilderness of East Africa.
Typically, a balloon safari begins around 6am and lasts for around one to two hours, during which you will enjoy the sensation of being both physically and emotionally suspended in the greatest adventure of your life, looking down at the most amazing wildlife below over several square kilometres of one of Africa’s most wondrous game parks.
Balloon safaris are held regularly only in the Serengeti and take off from designated sites (in the Seronera area) where the disturbance to animals is kept to a minimum. Your safari vehicle drops you off at the take off site and picks you up from your landing site. After landing there is a champagne toast and passengers are then taken to a very special breakfast served out on the open plains under the shade of an umbrella tree - a fitting end to your memorable flight in the wild.
