A Serengeti hot-air balloon safari is probably one of the most beautiful balloon flights in the world and an ultimate safari experience. It is an exclusive excursion over the Serengeti plains, offering unparalleled panoramic views of the awe-inspiring landscape.

At dawn you take off, rising as the sun rises and floating in whichever direction the winds of the morning take you. Your pilot can precisely control the altitude of your balloon: sometimes flying at treetop height, sometimes lower, offering a unique perspective and great photographic opportunities of the wildlife below.

The Serengeti plains and woodlands are world famous for the variety and sheer number of its animal population. A Serengeti Balloon Safari however, is not merely a game viewing experience, but rather an opportunity for an adventure and unique perspective over outstanding quintessentially African landscapes.

Some amazing wildlife has been seen from the balloon as well as many incidents such as lion kills, cheetah stalking and killing, leopard hunting and of course the annual million strong wildebeest migration, one of the natural wonders of the world.

The flight is for about one hour depending on conditions, on landing you celebrate in the traditional manner with an excellent sparkling wine, before sitting down to a full English breakfast prepared and served in the bush.
After breakfast you receive your Serengeti Balloon certificate and are driven back to your lodge with game viewing en route.
