Ascend to  African Sky, spend Nights under the Stars in Acacia woodlands eventually relax at pristine African beaches

SERENGETI HOT AIR BALLOON SAFARI

Probably the most beautiful balloon flight in the world and the ultimate Safari Experience.

5:00 am, Serengeti Balloon Safaris will collect you from your central Serengeti lodge or camp, and transfer you by Landrover to our launch site near Maasai 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.

The flight is for about one hour depending on conditions, on landing you celebrate in the traditional manner with champagne (well, an excellent sparkling wine), before sitting down to a full English breakfast prepared and served in the bush in 'Out of Africa' style with bone china, linen table cloths, King's silver etc.

After breakfast you receive your Serengeti Balloon certificate and we drive you back to Seronera Lodge game viewing enroute.  9:30 am Arrive at Seronera ready to continue your day's activities.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

This adventure will fit in with all safari itineraries that include a night in central Serengeti (Serena Lodge, Seronera Lodge or Sopa Lodge or any of the central Serengeti camp sites)

OUT OF AFRICA BREAKFAST

Imagine sitting at a table under the shade of a classic umbrella tree on the Serengeti Plains.

The table is laid with bone china and King’s silver cutlery

Fresh tropical fruits, warm freshly baked bread and English traditional breakfast of bacon, sausage, eggs, mushroom, tomato are all served by stewards in customary Swahili dress

In the distance the heat shimmers.  Superb starlings chatter in the nearby tree.  In ironic role reversal, it’s now the animals, keeping at a safe distance, that are watching you eat!  You sigh and think, yes “I could get accustomed to this”.
