Hot Air Ballooning

Hot Air Ballooning in Tanzania is a staggering opportunity to relish an aerial view of the extraordinarily exhaustive savannahs below. Small little dots wander across the diverse surroundings and as you get closer you become a spectator to the most iconic views of massive grey elephants, black and white striped zebras and swishes of black-maned lions lounging under shady trees.

Hot Air Ballooning Information

The experience of Hot Air Ballooning in Tanzania begins before dawn, as guests are transported to the launch site in the heart of the Serengeti. As the balloon slowly inflates, passengers can watch in awe as the sun begins to rise over the savannah.

Once the balloon is fully inflated, guests board the basket and take off into the sky, rising above the treetops to enjoy a bird's eye view of the breathtaking scenery below.

As the balloon drifts effortlessly over the Serengeti, guests can marvel at the herds of wildebeest, zebras, and other wildlife that roam freely across the plains. The sheer size and scale of the herds are awe-inspiring, and from above, guests can appreciate the incredible ecosystem that sustains these animals.

One of the most exciting aspects of Hot Air Ballooning in Tanzania is the opportunity to witness the wildlife from a completely different perspective. From the air, guests can see animals that are often hidden from view on the ground, such as lions lounging in the shade or giraffes stretching their necks to reach the highest branches of the trees. For photographers, the aerial view offers a wealth of new opportunities to capture stunning images of Tanzania's iconic wildlife.

The essence of Hot Air Ballooning in Tanzania starts as you wake up, get your much-needed cup of Joe and set off on a ride that will change your preconceived notions of what Safaris In Tanzania are all about.

As the balloon floats over the landscape, the pilot provides a running commentary, pointing out notable landmarks and offering insights into the flora and fauna that call this region home.

Towards the end of your Hot Air Ballooning in Tanzania, you can watch in anticipation as the ground crew prepare for the landing. With the skill of experienced pilots, the balloon gently touches down on the savannah, where you’ll be welcomed back to earth with a celebratory glass of champagne. The experience concludes with an extravagant breakfast served in the heart of the Serengeti, surrounded by the sights and sounds of this incredible wilderness.
