Balloon Safari in Tanzania
Balloon Safari in Tanzania
A hot air balloon flight at sunrise shows the plains from above, with herds, rivers and acacia trees spread out below. It is a quiet and unforgettable way to start a safari day.
Experience the magic of a balloon safari
The balloon drifts silently at low height with the wind, so you see wildlife without disturbing it. Afterwards, guests usually join a bush breakfast where the balloon lands.
