A Hot Air Balloon Safari in Serengeti is one of the most exciting and memorable activities you can do. Embark on a sunrise flight that will leave you in awe and create memories that last a lifetime.
As the hot-air balloon gently lifts off, you’ll be taken on a mesmerizing journey, guided by the morning winds. From high above, marvel at the breathtaking expanse of the Serengeti’s vast plains. Witness the magnificent herds of wildebeest, graceful giraffes, and majestic prides of lions as they roam the land below. If you’re lucky and the timing is right, you may even witness the awe-inspiring Great Migration from a unique aerial perspective.
The flight of the balloon safari serengeti lasts for 1-1,5 hour (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 big team to handle the preparations of the hot-air balloon.
*Note that children are permitted from age seven and above.
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 cancelled and your payment will be fully refunded or reschuled to another day if your trip-itinerary allows it.
The price of the balloon safari costs around 550 USD. The ride, transfers and champagne bush breakfast after the landing are all included in the price. There are options for vegetarian’s 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.
*Kindly be informed that the Serengeti balloon safari is exclusively offered as part of a complete itinerary and cannot be reserved independently, as the flight occurs within Serengeti National Park. However, if you are currently accommodated in central Serengeti, there may be a possibility to book the balloon safari as a standalone activity. Please inquire with your accommodation for further details and availability.
