Experience the thrill of a hot air balloon safari during your Tanzania safari or visit to the Maasai Mara in Kenya. At sunrise, take the skies and watch the African plains come alive. From above, you can spot herds of wildebeest, zebras, elephants, and even lions as they roam freely. It’s a peaceful yet unforgettable adventure—especially during the Great Wildebeest Migration, when the plains are filled with life and movement. This is one of the most exciting and memorable parts of any safari.
Why Take a Balloon Safari?
A View Like No Other
Seeing the African landscape from the skies on a balloon is a breathtaking experience. You’ll float gently over the plains as the sun rises, watching wildlife from a safe and peaceful height. It’s one of the unique ways to feel connected to nature without disturbing it.
Fly at Dawn, Spot the Wild
Your balloon ride begins just before dawn at the launch site—just like an early morning game drive. This timing is perfect for spotting nocturnal animals such as lions, leopards, and hyenas as they finish their nightly hunts. After a short safety briefing, you’ll gently lift off for a breathtaking bird’s eye view of the wild. The flight lasts around 45–60 minutes, giving you time to fully enjoy the sunrise and the vast beauty below. After landing, celebrate this unforgettable experience with a Champagne breakfast served in the bush.
