About four hours including breakfast Easy
Drift over the plains at sunrise, then land to a champagne breakfast in the bush.
A balloon flight is the one optional extra almost every guest is glad they booked. You lift off at dawn, float silently over herds and rivers for about an hour, and land to a full breakfast laid out under an acacia.
Serengeti flights operate from several launch sites and follow the migration through the year. Tarangire flights give you the baobabs and elephant herds from above. We book it in advance and collect you from your lodge in the dark.
Destinations
Hot-air balloon safari is part of the day in these destinations. Pick one to see its wildlife, birds and the safaris that go there.
Huge elephant herds, ancient baobabs and Tanzania’s endemic birds.
Vast plains, the Great Migration and big cats all year round.
Keep exploring
The heart of every safari: a private 4x4 with a pop-up roof, your own guide, and the whole day to follow the wildlife.
More than 1,100 species, dozens of endemics, and guides who find most birds by ear. Our speciality.
Leave the vehicle behind. Walk with a ranger to a waterfall, across the plains, or into Eastern Arc forest.
A quiet paddle past flamingos and hippos, with Mount Meru and Kilimanjaro on the skyline.
Six hours on the floor of the world’s largest intact caldera, with lions, rhino and 25,000 animals in view.
Follow trackers into the forest above Lake Tanganyika and spend an hour with wild chimpanzees.
Spotlights, genets and bushbabies. See the park after dark, when a different cast of animals comes out.
Hike through ancient Eastern Arc rainforest to Sanje Falls and the viewpoints of the Usambaras.
