Experience the adventure of a lifetime with our 7 Days Tanzania Serengeti Hot Air Balloon Safari. This unique safari offers an incredible bird’s-eye view of the majestic Serengeti, allowing you to witness the vibrant wildlife and breathtaking landscapes from above.
Hot air balloon rides depart from three prime locations within the Serengeti National Park. In Central Serengeti, wildlife gathers year-round in the Seronera River Valley, where permanent water attracts a variety of animals. During May and June, the Great Migration passes through this area, providing stunning sights of countless wildebeests on the move.
As you float above the Western Serengeti, you’ll see the dramatic Grumeti River, famous for its theatrical crossings during the Great Migration in June and July. Here, hundreds of thousands of wildebeests brave the perilous waters, risking encounters with Nile crocodiles as they seek safe passage.
In the South Serengeti, the wildebeests begin to assemble on the plains from December onward, creating a spectacular scene. The vast Serengeti plains are ideally suited for balloon flights, offering you a closer and more accessible view of the wildlife than traditional game-viewing vehicles can provide.
In addition to the breathtaking aerial views, your experience will include a celebratory breakfast after landing, complete with sparkling wine and a delicious meal amidst the stunning landscapes of the Serengeti. This safari is perfect for those seeking both adventure and tranquility, combining the thrill of ballooning with the beauty of one of Africa’s most iconic national parks.

In early morning our guide will pick you up from your Tented camp to Balloon Safari,this is probably the most beautiful balloon flight in the world and the ultimate Safari Experience which makes you enjoy the most beautiful migration of wildebeests through the endless plain of Serengeti. Our guide will transfer you by Land cruiser to balloon safari launch site near Masai Kopjes. Here you will meet your pilot, receive a briefing, and watch the inflation of your balloon. At dawn we take off, rising as the sun rises and float in whichever direction the winds of the morning take us. Your pilot can precisely control the altitude of your balloon: sometimes flying at treetop height, sometimes lower, offering a unique perspective and great photographic opportunities of the wildlife below. After breakfast, you are taken to the rendezvous point to meet with your driver guide and continue with your full-day game drives. Your overnight will be at Nimali Central Tented Camp.
Journey: Drive from Seronera Area to Northern Serengeti Mara. We start our journey with a short drive to Central Serengeti, followed by a 1 ½ hour drive to the Kogatende area in the Northern Serengeti. The Northern Serengeti is a land of open woodland, extending from the Seronera in the south to the Mara river in the north, marking the frontier with neighboring Kenya. During your time here, you can get to grips with a whole new set of exotic names: Bolongonja, Kogatende, Lamai and of course, the legendary Mara river. We are now following in the footsteps of the Great Migration, great herds of thousands of zebras and wildebeest getting ready to cross the Mara into Kenya, and back again. On a daily basis, crossings cannot be guaranteed, but our driver-guides know the most likely places to witness them, one of Nature’s most awe-inspiring sights. Patience is required! And if you’re not lucky enough to witness a crossing, there’s always tomorrow; and in Northern Serengeti, plenty more to see today. Accommodation today is in Nimali Mara with all meals.
If you’re lucky these days, perhaps a rare, black rhino might cross your path.but even if not, we might witness a river crossing as wildebeest seek out the greener grasses on the other side. Morning Safari (Game Drive) in Northern Serengeti. As you awake for a second day in Northern Serengeti, you can contemplate that parts of this northern area can easily match the Southern Serengeti for the abundance of wildlife viewing, especially between July and October. After your breakfast, you will embark with your driver-guide on a full-day game drive, looking out for elephant and buffalo, eland and gazelle. Maybe you’ll be lucky enough to spot something really special: perhaps a cheetah, or even a rare black rhino, of which a small population are resident here. Afternoon Safari (Game Drive)Daily in Northern Serengeti, Depending on what your driver-guide found for you yesterday and this morning, this afternoon we’ll set out to see something new. If a Mara River crossing has escaped you, perhaps the conditions this afternoon will suggest that a crossing could take place. Our driver-guides have intimate knowledge of where and when they might occur. As well as the migrating herds, the Northern Serengeti is an area where you might easily see giraffes, elephants and dik-dik: with many resident species, there’s never a dull moment. All nights in this days with meals will be in Nimali Mara.
