Serengeti Air balloon Safaris

There’s no better way to experience a safari by doing a Hot air Balloon safari Serengeti.

During the ride, you have a stunning and far-reaching view of the great plains of the Serengeti. From here you can spot big herds of wildebeest, giraffes, and pride of lions right below you. At the right time of year and with a good amount of luck you might even be able to experience the great migration from above. Serengeti Air balloon Safarislasts for 1-1,5 hours (depending on the weather) and starts at sunrise. This means an early departure from your lodge at around 4:45 am. After the hot-air balloon safari, a champagne bush breakfast will be waiting for you to make the experience even more unique than it already is. Each trip is guided by a licensed pilot and a big team to handle the preparations of the hot-air balloon. Note that children are permitted from age seven and above. Best time to do the Balloon Safari in Serengeti The dry season (June to October) is the ideal time for a hot-air balloon safari in the Serengeti. During the rainy months (March, April & May), some balloon rides are still available, but the actual flight is more dependent on weather conditions. During heavy rains and/or winds the balloon, unfortunately, can’t take off. In this case, the flight will be canceled and your payment will be fully refunded or rescheduled to another day if your trip-itinerary allows it.

There are options for vegetarians available. It surely is not cheap, but its definitely worth it. The balloon ride is great for special events like honeymoons, birthdays, other celebrations, or just because it’s simply amazing. The balloon safari Serengeti is done as an activity in a complete itinerary and can’t be done separately as the flight takes place in Serengeti National Park.
