The Best Balloon Safaris in Tanzania
Float above the Serengeti at sunrise and take in a rare aerial view of the Great Migration.
Experience Tanzania from above on a spectacular Serengeti balloon safari. Drift quietly over the Serengeti plains at sunrise, watching wildlife stir below, before landing for a champagne bush breakfast. Operated by experienced pilots in designated areas of the Serengeti and Tarangire, balloon flights are among the most memorable add-ons to a northern circuit safari. The flight follows the wind, giving a rare perspective on the landscape and its wildlife. In the Serengeti, this can be especially powerful during migration season, while Tarangire offers beautiful views of baobabs, river country, and elephant habitat. After landing, the crew welcomes you for a celebratory bush breakfast in the wild before transferring you back to meet your guide or continue with the day's safari plan. It turns a single morning into one of the standout memories of a northern Tanzania safari.
