What to Expect on a Serengeti Balloon Safaris

A Serengeti balloon safari offers a breathtaking perspective that no other safari can match. Floating high above the plains, you’ll witness the vastness of the Serengeti and its incredible wildlife from a vantage point few get to experience.

Early Morning Start

Your adventure begins before dawn when the air is cool, and the landscape is bathed in soft morning light. A safari vehicle will take you to the launch site, where you’ll meet your experienced pilot and crew. As the balloon inflates, anticipation builds for the journey ahead.

Gentle Ascent

With a rush of heat from the burners, the balloon gracefully lifts off, rising gently into the sky. The sensation of floating effortlessly above the wilderness is both thrilling and serene.

Unparalleled Views

The Serengeti unfolds beneath you—rolling plains stretching endlessly to the horizon, winding rivers glistening in the morning sun, and distant acacia trees casting long shadows. The golden light of dawn enhances the beauty of this iconic landscape.

Wildlife Encounters

From above, you’ll witness the Serengeti’s teeming wildlife in an entirely new way. Spot massive herds of wildebeest and zebra on their great migration, elephants strolling through the savannah, and even elusive predators like lions and cheetahs basking in the morning sun. Every moment brings a new spectacle.

Bush Breakfast

After a smooth landing, your experience continues with a luxurious bush breakfast in the heart of the wilderness. Enjoy freshly prepared dishes and a glass of bubbly as you soak in the sights and sounds of the African bush—a perfect way to celebrate your unforgettable flight.

A Must-Do for Any Traveler to Africa

Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or a first-time visitor to Africa, a Serengeti Balloon Safari is an experience that will stay with you forever.
