Serengeti Balloon Safaris Office

This balloon safari was one of the highlights of our trip to Tanzania! They did such a great job accommodating our large family of 12 which included multiple young kids (our youngest was 6)! Many of our kids said that the balloon safari over the Serengeti was one of the highlights of their lives in terms of experiences they have had. We had such a wonderful time viewing the Serengeti from the air and it gives such a different perspective. On our hour long flight we got to see four lions, three cheetahs, multiple herds of cape buffalo, gazelles, a herd of elephants, secretary birds, giraffes, eland and so much beautiful scenery. Our flight was piloted by Captain Muhammed who was the first Tanzanian trained hot air balloon pilot and he did an amazing job catching the wind currants and pointing out wildlife. To top it off, we were greeted with champagne (and juice for the kids) when we landed and then picked up by jeeps and ushered to a wonderful English breakfast out in the bush! Amazing! The service and quality is well worth the price!

I can’t recommend this experience enough! Our captain was amazing. He knew exactly what he was doing and was top-notch at flying. He was super knowledgeable and helpful too. Everything was well-organized and safe, and we even got to see most of the animals from above. It was an incredible experience!

Our experience with the Serengeti balloon safari was extraordinary from start to finish. Paul, our pilot, was fantastic—calm, professional, and made us feel completely safe throughout the flight. The post-flight breakfast in the middle of nowhere was nothing short of magical, with breathtaking views and even a toilet with a view! And the champagne flowed generously, making it a truly unforgettable adventure. The day before, a representative came to see us, personally delivered the tickets, and explained everything clearly, which really put us at ease. We were staying in a very remote lodge, yet they picked us up as promised, and everything was perfectly organized, just as they had explained the day before. What also made the experience special is knowing that a portion of the ticket price goes directly towards the conservation of the Serengeti. This not only justifies the price but makes it all the more worthwhile, knowing we're contributing to the protection of this incredible landscape. Highly recommended!

I had the best experience with Serengeti Balloon Safaris! From the moment we arrived, the team made us feel very welcome. They explained everything clearly and made sure we were comfortable and safe. Everyone was so kind, friendly, and professional. The balloon ride itself was amazing! Watching the sunrise from the sky over the Serengeti was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. The pilot was very skilled and told us interesting facts during the flight. After we landed, we were treated to a lovely breakfast in the bush with champagne. The setting was beautiful, and the food was delicious. It was a perfect way to end the morning. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I will never forget. I highly recommend Serengeti Balloon Safaris to anyone visiting Tanzania. Thank you again to the whole team for making our day so special!

Our first hot air balloon experience ….. and probably the last as none other could possibly beat it! Viewing the animals from above and rising high and low to appreciate all the Serengeti has to offer was mesmerizing. Worth going the extra dollar …….as you spent so much to get here in the first place 💸.

Hands down one of the coolest experiences I’ve ever had. Our pilot was so friendly and knowledgeable and the experience itself was just so magical 🥲 highly recommend if you want to have a life changing experience!

A bucket list item for the Serengeti This activity is a must do if you are visiting the Serengeti. It is one of the most incredible experiences you will encounter. My partner and I are fortunate that this is the second time we have done a Balloon Safari (The first being in Kenya) and this one easily met our expectations. All staff couldn’t be more professional and friendly if they tried. You are picked up from your Accomodation on the morning of the flight. The time depends on how close you are staying to the launch site. So it can be early. Ours was 04:20. However do not let this put you off. It is 100% worth the early start (This coming from someone who is not an early morning person) You are welcomed on arrival with coffee, tea and biscuits and given a safety briefing by your pilot. We particularly liked that there wasn’t much waiting around. From arriving to taking to the air, was only 30 minutes. Toilets are provided on site too. Our pilot was Paul, and we cannot thank him enough for such an enjoyable day. He is extremely knowledgeable about the Serengeti, Balloon flying and animals and took the time to share his knowledge with us, as well as keeping us entertained with his great sense of humour. We managed to see hippos, elephants, Giraffes and Gazel during our flight. Another reason to book this tour, is the price includes professional photography. You will receive a link to download photos from the trip, including shots on the ground, whilst you are seated in the basket, and also go-pro shots during flight. The company also donate 20% of profits to the conservation of the Serengeti national park. Something that is extremely important to us, being big animal charity sponsors. After landing you are greeted with champagne and seated for a bush breakfast. You all receive a menu with multiple choices. Coffee, tea, juice and more champagne is served to you along with the Breakfast in the Busch. Which is just as an amazing experience as the Ballon Safari itself.

This was such a magical experience. We loved every bit of it and was well worth the 4am wake up. Seeing the vastness of the Serengeti from the sky was well worth the experience. The beautiful story of how the balloon first came about and the toasting of the champagne made the experience even more magical. After the balloon safari you have breakfast in the middle of the Serengeti and receive a certificate. The food was great and every single person involved from the pilot to the chef and waiters were all super friendly and professional. If you’re ever in the Serengeti, book yourself one of these balloon safaris. It is worth the price!
