About Hot Air Balloon Safari
A Hot Air Balloon Safari is one of the most magical ways to experience Africa’s wilderness. Floating silently above endless savannahs, winding rivers, and herds of wildlife, this adventure offers a unique bird’s-eye view of the continent’s most iconic landscapes. Unlike a game drive, which limits your perspective to ground level, a hot air balloon allows you to see the sheer scale of Africa’s wild beauty—vast plains stretching to the horizon, dramatic sunrises, and the incredible sight of animals moving freely across their natural habitats.
Hot Air Balloon Safaris are especially popular in East Africa, where the combination of dramatic landscapes and rich wildlife make for unforgettable aerial experiences. Whether soaring over the Serengeti in Tanzania, the Masai Mara in Kenya, or even Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda, every balloon safari is a once-in-a-lifetime journey.
What To Experience
The Masai Mara in Kenya is one of the most famous places in the world for hot air balloon rides, where sunrise flights reveal lions on the hunt, herds of elephants, and, between July and October, the Great Migration of wildebeest and zebras, often ending with a champagne breakfast in the bush.
In Tanzania, the Serengeti offers equally breathtaking balloon safaris, with endless savannahs, acacia trees, and front-row views of the Great Migration in areas vehicles cannot reach. Amboseli in Kenya provides a unique setting with majestic elephants, giraffes, and buffalo roaming against the stunning backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro. Uganda’s Queen Elizabeth National Park adds a hidden gem, with balloons floating over crater lakes, savannahs, and the Kazinga Channel, alive with hippos and elephants.
What to Expect
A hot air balloon safari begins before sunrise as guests watch the balloon inflate against the dawn sky. After a briefing, they drift silently for 60–90 minutes over wildlife-filled plains, ending with a smooth landing and a traditional champagne breakfast in the bush.
Best Time To Visit
The dry season from June to October and December to February offers clear skies, excellent visibility, and abundant wildlife for balloon safaris. From July to October, the Great Migration in Serengeti and Masai Mara provides unmatched views. In Amboseli and Queen Elizabeth, year-round flights reveal seasonal beauty.
Why Choose
Balloon safaris offer a unique perspective with panoramic aerial views unlike game drives, while limited passenger numbers ensure an intimate, exclusive experience. From the Serengeti plains to Kilimanjaro’s shadow, these journeys showcase iconic African landscapes and end with champagne breakfasts, sunrise skies, and unforgettable memories.
