Hot Air Balloon Safaris in Serengeti National Park

Hot Air Balloon Safaris in Serengeti National Park

Hot Air Balloon Safaris in Serengeti National Park are one of the great ways to explore the park into great detail, in a short time. There is nothing more rewarding as viewing wildlife from the sky. This is a highly personalized experience, where you are left to just stand, and see the beauty, the world has offered to you, at the moment. The experience is incredible, as you will be lost in wonders. Ballooning in Serengeti National Park takes place at sunrise, which means a pre-dawn wake up with steaming coffee and a chilly drive to the launch. The sense of excitement ripples through you as the great balloons slowly fill with hot air, rising up ponderously above their tethered baskets. Take-off is a noisy, bumpy affair, which adds to the thrill and enhances the sudden serenity when you reach cruising altitude. The noise of the heating flame punctuates the quiet along with the soft whistle of air currents and occasional ‘ooohs’ from your fellow adventurers. Wrap up warmly, it’s cold up there! In a few minutes, there you go, lost in the sky, as you give a bye smile to your guide, who stares with great pride seeing you do this, The land below you is quiet in the peace of dawn as sunrise unfurls in bright colors on the eastern horizon. As the earth warms up, wildlife starts to move, the cool of the early morning is the best time of day for game viewing, and a hot air balloon gives you an especially superb view of the plains. The balloon can fly relatively low over big herds (unlike helicopters and light aircraft), making this one of the best ways to see the full splendor of the Great Wildebeest Migration. When you touch down on solid earth again, a glorious champagne brunch awaits you, prepared and served on the savannah, the perfect end to an extraordinary and serene safari experience. Hot air ballooning in Serengeti National Park is a must-do when you’re visiting the Serengeti. Floating gently above the grassy plains in the golden light of dawn, spotting animals from your suspended basket is an experience you’ll never forget. If you’re staying in the Central Serengeti, you can get a transfer to and from your lodge or camp to the hot air ballooning launch site near the Masai Kopjes. A champagne breakfast once you land is the cherry on top of the amazing activity.
