This is probably the most beautiful balloon flight in the world and the ultimate Safari experience! Serengeti Balloon Safaris will collect you from your lodge/camp between 04h00 and 05h00 and transfer you with their vehicles to the launch site in the Serengeti. Here you will meet your pilot, receive a briefing and watch the inflation of your balloon. Take-off commences at dawn with the balloon rising as the sun rises, floating in whatever direction the wind of the morning takes us. Your pilot can control the altitude of your balloon precisely, sometimes flying at treetop height and sometimes lower, offering a unique perspective and great photographic opportunities of the wildlife below. At other times he will ascend to 1000 feet or more to offer you an unspoiled view of the enormity and wonderful panorama of the Serengeti. The flight takes about one hour depending on wind conditions and although you would probably prefer not to, eventually you will have to land. We will celebrate in the traditional manner with sparkling wine before sitting down to a full English breakfast prepared and served in the bush in “Out of Africa” style with bone china, linen table cloths, King’s silver, etc. After breakfast, you will receive your Serengeti Balloon certificate and driven back to the camp to continue your day’s activities.
