Touch the sky as the Serengeti awakens below you
See the wild from above
A Serengeti Balloon Safari offers a magical sunrise flight above Tanzania’s iconic plains. As the balloon lifts gently into the morning sky, you’ll enjoy sweeping views of rolling grasslands, rivers, and wildlife moving quietly below. From herds of elephants to graceful giraffes and migrating wildebeest, the scenery from above is unforgettable.
After landing, you’ll celebrate with a traditional champagne toast and a luxury bush breakfast served in the open savannah. It’s a peaceful, once-in-a-lifetime experience that reveals the Serengeti from a breathtaking new perspective.
What to Expect
Your adventure begins before sunrise. After a short transfer to the launch site, you’ll watch the balloon inflate a slow, glowing transformation in the darkness. Once aboard, the balloon rises gently, giving you sweeping, 360-degree views of the Serengeti.
As you drift with the morning breeze, the landscape unfolds:
- Herds of elephants, buffalo, wildebeest, and zebra moving below
- Giraffes casting long shadows as they walk through the grass
- Hippos and crocodiles near rivers and watering holes
- A sense of peace and silence you won’t find anywhere else
Your pilot will descend at times for a closer view, then lift higher for panoramic scenery making the experience both intimate and majestic.
