Another very popular option to gain a bird’s-eye view of the wildlife below is from a hot-air balloon. An early morning departure, gentle lift-off, the lush rolling expanse of the Serengeti plains below, and a romantic champagne breakfast to complete this very special and unforgettable Serengeti experience.

At five o’ clock in the morning Serengeti balloon Safaris picks you up at your hotel / camping site. Serena Lodge, Seronera lodge or Sopa lodge, or one of the central camping sites in the Serengeti. Then you drive to Maasai Kopjes to your departure point. Here you will meet your pilot, and you get a short explanation of what will happen. In the meantime the balloon is prepared for departure.

You take off at sunrise and you will determine the altitude with your pilot.
At times you will fly on tree top height, other times at an altitude of approximately 1000 metres, so that you can enjoy your view optimally to see the animals and the best panoramic sights. The silence on this altitude is inconceivable.
The flight lasts approximately one hour. After the landing a traditional “Out of Africa” breakfast is awaitening you, in the middle of the bush with splendid linen, table cloths, silver cutlery and champagne.

Afterwards you receive a Serengeti balloon certificate, if proof of your flight, and you are driven back to your hotel/camping site, where you go on with your programme.
