Hot air Balloon Safari
Hot Air Balloon Safari
A balloon safari in the Serengeti, Ngorongoro area, Tarangire, or Ruaha National Park can only be described as magical. In the chilly predawn darkness, the adventure begins as you watch antelopes dart through the vehicle’s headlights on your way to the launch site. Upon arrival, you climb into the basket, feeling the warmth of the burners as the balloon ascends softly in the twilight. As you rise to altitude, the breathtaking sight of the sunrise unfolding over Tanzania greets you. Gliding silently over rivers, trees, and vast savannahs, you witness the wildlife stirring below in their natural habitat. The journey concludes with a gentle landing, followed by a delightful champagne breakfast under the shade of a giant acacia tree, creating an experience that is both serene and exhilarating.
What you will Experience
Early Morning Adventure:
The Hot Air Balloon Safari usually takes place early in the morning, just before sunrise. You will be picked up from your accommodation and driven to the launch site, which is carefully selected to offer the best views of the wildlife and landscape.
Spectacular Views:
As the sun rises over the African plains, you’ll ascend gently into the sky in the hot air balloon. From this elevated vantage point, you’ll have breathtaking panoramic views of the vast savannas, rolling hills, and iconic landmarks like Mount Kilimanjaro (weather permitting). It’s a fantastic opportunity to capture incredible photographs and cherish the beauty of nature from a different perspective.
Wildlife Encounters:
One of the most remarkable aspects of the Hot Air Balloon Safari is the chance to witness wildlife in their natural habitat from above. You may spot herds of elephants, giraffes grazing on treetops, zebras running across the plains, lions lazing in the grass, and a variety of other animals going about their morning routines. It’s a truly unique and peaceful way to observe wildlife without disturbing their natural behavior.

Duration and Group Size:

Best Time For Balloon Safari In Tanzania
Balloon safaris require clear sky and light, consistent winds; fortunately, this type of weather is common in Tanzania’s mornings throughout year. As balloon safaris rise to the air, it is possible to go through the sky while automobiles become trapped in the mud. This allows you to fly over nature at any time of year. Tanzania has a tropical climate, with two dry seasons and two wet seasons. During the dry season, expect dry landscapes with fauna congregating around water sources, while the rainy season brings verdant landscapes, dramatic weather, and light.
