4 Days Hot Air Balloon Safari In Tanzania
Hot air balloon flights in Serengeti National Park
Even though a balloon safari isn’t cheap, it’s definitely worth it. Floating quietly above the trees as the sun rises lets you see the endless Serengeti plains from a view you’ll never forget. Since we start very early in the morning, you might even see some night animals getting ready for the day.
Most flights will have parts where you fly high up to enjoy wide views of the Serengeti, and other parts where you fly low, giving you a chance to spot wildlife up close. Skilled pilots can follow rivers and streams, gliding just above hippos or giraffes. Flying low is perfect for taking amazing wildlife photos from above. You’ll drift over the plains wherever the wind takes you, while a crew follows on the ground in their vehicles.
Highlights
- Hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti.
- Stunning sunrise views from above.
- See wildlife up close from low flights.
- And, depending on the time of year you travel, you may have nature’s greatest spectacle to witness: the incomparable Wildebeest Migration.
- Capture amazing aerial photos.
- Expert pilots guide your adventure.
