An early morning balloon flight over the Serengeti is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful balloon flights in the world and one of the ultimate safari experiences. Anyone booked on a wildlife safari in northern Tanzania which includes a few nights in the Serengeti National Park should carefully consider adding on this very popular hot air balloon option.
  
The Serengeti plains and woodlands are justifiably famous for the density and mass of wildlife. A Serengeti Balloon Safari offers a completely different perspective on watching wildlife than in a 4x4 on a game drive. The landscapes are breathtaking. The ever-changing skies are mesmerising. And the thrill of ascending gracefully up and above one of the world's most famous wildlife reserves provides one of life's great memories. 

There is of course no guarantee that you will see specific animals from the balloon, but previous flyers have seen some amazing wildlife from up above, and witnessed many amazing events such as lion kills, cheetah hunts, leopard stalks and of course the annual wildebeest migration - one of the natural wonders of the world.

You'll also be in safe hands - the pilots are all committed conservationists and will share their knowledge of the area and wildlife with you. Naturally, wildlife has priority and consideration is given to them when flying. You shouldn't be disappointed.
