Imagine soaring above the iconic plains of Tanzania, witnessing herds of wildebeest, towers of giraffes, and dazzles of zebras galloping across the savannah just a few hundred meters below. This is the unforgettable experience that awaits you on a hot-air balloon safari with Kiliclimb Africa Safaris. Combining breathtaking aerial views with the magic of a spectacular sunrise, our East African balloon safari is one of the most extraordinary and unique adventures you’ll ever have.
A hot-air balloon safari allows you to immerse yourself in the beauty of Tanzania’s wildlife and landscapes from an entirely new perspective. As you glide over the Serengeti, Tarangire, or Ndutu, you’ll have a bird’s-eye view of the wildlife starting their day.
The stillness of the morning, the soft light of dawn, and the vastness of the plains create a serene and awe-inspiring experience that’s truly unmatched.
Your adventure begins early in the morning, even before the first light. You’ll be picked up for an early drive to the launch site. The crisp morning air adds to the excitement, so we recommend dressing in warm layers. Upon arrival, you’ll witness the balloon being prepared for takeoff—a thrilling sight as the burners fill the balloon with hot air. Although the initial sound might surprise you, once you’re in the air, you’ll experience the quiet serenity of floating above Tanzania’s iconic landscapes.
The flight itself typically lasts between one to two hours, giving you ample time to soak in the vastness of the landscape below. As you rise higher, the animals are less disturbed, allowing you to observe their natural behavior from a unique vantage point. From lions stalking their prey to elephants lumbering along, the wildlife sightings from above will be unforgettable. Keep your binoculars handy to spot hidden gems!
Upon landing, you’ll be greeted with a champagne breakfast in the heart of the African bush. Imagine savoring a delicious meal surrounded by the sights and sounds of the savannah, the perfect way to conclude your once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
The Night Before
Given the early start, we recommend a good night’s sleep. Prepare yourself for the incredible journey that awaits at dawn.
Essentials for your hot-air balloon safari include:
Balloon safaris are highly dependent on weather conditions. Safety is our priority, so if the weather doesn’t cooperate whether due to high winds or rain your flight will be rescheduled or refunded in full.
Due to the exclusive nature of this experience, we strongly recommend booking your balloon safari in advance. This ensures availability during your trip and takes the unpredictable weather into account.
Tanzania offers some of the most picturesque and wildlife-rich locations for balloon safaris. The top destinations for this adventure include:
The Serengeti is world-famous for its vast savannahs, teeming with wildlife. The central Serengeti offers year-round wildlife sightings, while the northern Serengeti is renowned for witnessing the Great Migration during calving and crossing seasons.
Located near the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Ndutu is a prime spot during the migration season when thousands of wildebeest and zebras gather for calving. The view of the herds from the air is a sight to behold.
Known for its giant baobab trees and large elephant populations, Tarangire offers a more intimate yet equally impressive balloon safari experience. The diversity of wildlife and landscape in this park is breathtaking from above.
