Hot Air Balloon Safari over the Serengeti

Drift silently over the plains at sunrise, followed by a champagne bush breakfast on landing.

About This Experience

There’s no better way to grasp the true scale of the Serengeti than from above it. This pre-dawn balloon flight lifts off as the sky turns gold, drifting low over herds and rivers before an on-the-plains breakfast celebrates the landing โ€” a genuinely different perspective on a trip already full of them.
