Why Go on a Hot Air Balloon Safari
Hot Air Balloon Safari gives a wider perspective of African wildlife that you can’t get on land. Floating above destinations like Tanzania’s Serengeti during the Great Wildebeest Migration, or watching Kenya’s elephant herds cross rivers, offers a unique view. There’s no congestion in the air; you can watch the sunrise and sunsets with better views and greater aesthetics. From Magical dawn flights to feeling absolute quiet and tranquillity in the wild touch of the African breeze.
What is Involved in a Hot Air Balloon Safari
An early start is inevitable for a hot air balloon safari. Typically, you’ll wake up before sunrise and have tea or coffee with light biscuits or similar crunchies. We will handle transfers from your stay to the hot air balloon site. Safety precautions and details of the trip will be conveyed by your guide. Soar high above the designated zones, chatter with fellow travellers, take pretty pictures, and after approx. 50 minutes to 1 hour of flying, then enjoy a soft, safe landing at a designated spot.
Where to Enjoy a Hot Air Balloon Safari
Africa is the best destination to take to the skies, being blessed with spectacular views. You can fly over the unending plains of Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and Masai Mara Game Reserve in Kenya. Especially to view millions of wildebeest herds crossing the plains and the Mara River, offering the Greatest Show on Earth.
Other regions include Botswana’s Okavango Delta, South Africa’s Mabula Private Game Reserve, Rwanda’s Akagera National Park and Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda. We also conduct hot air balloon safaris across Zambia and other places with luxury custom tours.

Hot Air Balloon Safaris
Frequently Asked Questions.
Hot air balloon safaris usually begin before sunrise. Guests are typically picked up from their camps or lodges very early in the morning so they can reach the launch area before takeoff.
The balloon flight generally lasts around 50 minutes to 1 hour, although the complete experience, including transfers, preparation, landing, and the post-flight bush breakfast, takes several hours.
Age restrictions vary between balloon operators. Families should check the operator's minimum age requirements before booking, particularly when travelling with young children.
Basket capacity varies by operator and balloon. Most safari balloons accommodate multiple passengers, with the exact number depending on the aircraft and operator's configuration.
Different safari itineraries include hot air balloon safaris as an activity. Before booking, our team will share the details and help you choose a trip that includes a balloon ride.
