Tanzania Balloon Safari You’ve never experienced true magic until you’ve flown in a hot air balloon over Serengeti National Park. The weather in the Serengeti is ideal for ballooning.
Great Image Expedition offers an early morning Tanzania Balloon Safari, taking advantage of the stable and calm weather conditions. The distance covered usually ranges from one to ten miles depending on wind strength and direction.
During the flight, you will soar from treetop level, experiencing low-level contour flight, to several thousand feet, providing the perfect vantage point to marvel at the majesty of the Serengeti region.
Great Image Expedition also offers balloon safaris in Tarangire National Park and Ruaha National Park, ensuring breathtaking experiences across Tanzania’s most stunning landscapes.
In safe hands, Tanzania Balloon Safari
All the pilots are trained to the highest international standards, have large commercial balloon pilot licences from Tanzania and at least one other country, and are thoroughly experienced in local conditions.
Tanzania Balloon Safari Safety first, every time
All flights operate on a safety-first principle. Our pilots undergo a rigorous pre-flight checklist, and if they are not completely happy with the conditions and wind speed at takeoff, the flight will not go ahead.
The safest kit of Tanzania Balloon Safari
All the balloons have passenger safety belts, rapid deflation systems, steel skids and baskets reinforced with Lexan panels, all of which make them safer.
Unlike traditional safaris, balloon safaris offer a bird’s-eye view of the landscape. This unique perspective allows you to see the vastness of the plains, the meandering rivers, and the herds of animals in their natural habitat. It’s a serene yet exhilarating experience that can’t be replicated on the ground.
Tanzania is renowned for its stunning landscapes, from the endless plains of the Serengeti to the lush greenery of Tarangire. A balloon safari offers an unrivaled panoramic view of these breathtaking scenes, making it a photographer’s dream come true.
One of the main draws of a balloon safari is the chance to see wildlife from a different angle. As you glide over the terrain, you might spot the Big Five—lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and rhinos—as well as countless other species. The early morning flights often coincide with peak wildlife activity, providing extraordinary viewing opportunities.
