A balloon over the Serengeti is truly a once in a life time experience! Early morning departure from the camp ensure that in are in time for the sun rise and watch the Serengeti stir to life from a bird’s eye view!

Each flight is a different journey dictated by the direction of the wind, where the sights and sounds rise from the ground to meet you. Sometimes the basket will be gently brushing the tips of the grass and then climbing, climbing through the layers of air until you’re high enough to see the curve of the horizon, painted gold and pink by the early sun. Our pilots not only have years of experience in harnessing the African wind, but are also interpreters of the wild lives in the ebb and flow of the landscape below. Around an hour or so after you lift into the sky, the basket will return to the plains of the Serengeti.

Truly there is nothing to compare with breakfast served under the sweeping canopy of an acacia in the middle of the Serengeti plains. Tropical fruit, bread baked this morning and eggs cooked in the bush (or a lovely avocado option), all made more delicious by the location, and served on linen, bone china and Sheffield cutlery in an ‘Out of Africa’ style.
