What to Expect
A Serengeti Balloon Safari is one of the most special experiences you can add to your Tanzania safari. It is an early-morning hot air balloon flight over the Serengeti plains, giving you a peaceful bird’s-eye view of the landscape, wildlife, sunrise, and endless savannah. Instead of seeing the Serengeti only from the safari vehicle, you float above it quietly as the day begins.
Plan Well
Useful Information
A Serengeti balloon safari starts from US$550 per person. It is an expensive activity, so it is worth planning for it in your safari budget. Spaces are limited, and operating inside a national park adds to the cost of bringing in equipment, maintaining the balloons, and supporting the crew.
What makes it special is the chance to see the Serengeti from above as the sun rises over the plains. You can enjoy wide, open views and look for wildlife from a completely different angle. Animal sightings vary, but the scenery and the feeling of floating above the wilderness are a big part of the experience.
If it fits your budget, a balloon safari can be a memorable highlight of your trip. We recommend booking ahead, as seats are limited. Flights also depend on suitable weather conditions.
