Hot air balloon flights
A Serengeti balloon safari is a fantastic once-in-a-lifetime experience, particularly suitable for a bird’s-eye view game viewing experience on your wildlife tour in northern Tanzania. Hot air balloon rides leave from three sites in this prime national park. In Central Serengeti, wildlife gathers year-round in the Seronera River Valley where there is permanent water. The Great Migration passes through around May and June.
The Western Serengeti includes the Grumeti River, a scene of theatrical crossings during the Great Migration in June and July, when hundreds of thousands of gnu brave the giant Nile crocodiles and many perish while others detour to avoid the perilous river. In South Serengeti plain, the wildebeests assemble from December onward, to calve in February, producing 8000 newborns every day on a three-week marathon. This is a sight not to be missed on your personalized nature travel in Serengeti.
The flight lasts an hour and concludes with a ”Champagne Bush Breakfast” at the balloon landing site in the wilderness. The balloon is flown by a fully qualified and experienced pilot and the balloons themselves are most often made by Cameron, a specialist hot air balloon manufacturer in Great Britain.
