We are sure that you will know about safaris on the ground. Therefore, the mainstay of a ‘safari’ is journeying across the (usually) African bush. Then, enjoying the travel and glorious scenery, and looking out for the abundant wildlife, birds, and plant life that Africa is rightly famed for. ‘Safari’ is, after all, the Swahili word for ‘journey.’ Conventionally, you would think this ‘journey’ would be by 4×4 truck or perhaps on foot.


But what about a safari from the air?

Yes, visitors often travel to far-flung wildlife areas in a light plane, and that’s an exhilarating experience. It’s so much more immersive than sitting in an airliner with no idea about what’s going on outside.
I want to talk about a safari from the air in a hot air balloon. That’s as raw and real as possible without trying to emulate Icarus. Imagine standing in the open air of a wicker and leather basket, feeling the fresh air on your cheeks as you gaze across the wild lands of Africa in the magical light of sunrise. You may be looking down at the endless plains of Serengeti, hearing the calls of the black-bellied bustard in the grass below, or floating over a pod of hippos in the Seronera river, replete after a night of grazing in the adjacent grasslands.

Scenic Encounters on the Serengeti Hot Air Balloon Safari

You might drift over a pair of honeymooning lions wholly hidden from the ground or spot a herd of elephants from afar, making their way across the plains. The wildebeest migration may be in reach, and you could be lucky to see the ‘hard edge of the migration’ as the leading animals all bunch up; it’s an extraordinary sight and almost impossible to see from the ground.
A safari from the air is also about the views. Seeing these incredible lands from high in the sky is a privilege. You can pick out the Ngorongoro highlands to the east and the waters of Africa’s largest lake, Victoria, to the west. You can look deep into the Maasai Mara in Kenya or gaze at the rolling, acacia-clad hills of Serengeti.
As almost every one of our guests tells us, a balloon safari is the absolute highlight of their entire safari, so if you are coming all this way, don’t miss the opportunity to see it from the air.

FAQS- Do I need to book in advance?
